    NDIA's Munitions Executive Summit to Focus on Factors That Will Shape the Future Munitions Landscape

    PRWeb – Mon, Feb 6, 2012

    NDIA's Munitions Executive Summit will feature distinguished speakers and panels of subject matter experts to address the unstable DoD budget and attempt to "Achieve Efficiencies Across The Munitions Enterprise, through Collaboration, Communication, and Cooperation.”

    Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) February 06, 2012

    The United States’ military strategy is changing; budget cuts, of more than $480 billion over the next decade, will force the Department of Defense to shift the focus of its military strategy from strength in numbers, to more innovative and efficient defense technologies. President Obama strives to create a “leaner and stronger” military for the United States by placing the emphasis on innovation in technology. There has never been a more vital time for the U.S. to strengthen its defense technology. Munitions technology, in particular, has a great opportunity to emerge with new developments and solutions for the U.S. war-fighter and its allies.

    “The purpose of this year’s Munitions Executive Summit will be to address the challenges of maintaining a stable and relevant munitions enterprise amidst an un-stable DoD budget outlook,” says Tim Bagniefski, Vice President, Marketing, General Dynamics-Ordnance and Tactical Systems, and Munitions Representative. “This summit is intended to create a thoughtful and meaningful discourse on the critical factors that will shape the future munitions landscape. It will bring together key practitioners, within the ammunition and ordnance fields, to work on effective solutions for the U.S. war-fighter and its allies. Furthermore, this summit will explore the contemporary dynamics, which affect both the current and future industrial manufacturing complex, that services our war-fighting capability."

    NDIA has put together a conference that will feature distinguished speakers and panels of subject matter experts to address the unstable DoD budget and attempt to "Achieve Efficiencies Across The Munitions Enterprise, through Collaboration, Communication, and Cooperation.”

    Notable speakers include, but are not limited to:

    •     Dr. Marilyn Freeman, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army, R&T (Invited)
