00:00:04.087 --> 00:00:06.172
- The one thing A&D
leaders should take away

00:00:06.172 --> 00:00:10.343
from FIA this year is the
unprecedented super cycle

00:00:10.343 --> 00:00:11.177
we're in.

00:00:11.177 --> 00:00:14.180
Defense demands, commercial OEM demands,

00:00:14.180 --> 00:00:16.891
and after-market demand, we're
all overlapping each other

00:00:16.891 --> 00:00:19.060
in really exciting ways.

00:00:19.060 --> 00:00:21.896
And everybody from the
primes to private equity

00:00:21.896 --> 00:00:25.400
are looking for a new angle
to get more throughput out

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:26.609
and higher margins.

00:00:26.609 --> 00:00:28.361
- From autonomy to logistics,

00:00:28.361 --> 00:00:30.280
AI is the unlock of the moment,

00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:33.408
but let me flag something
important to defense leaders:

00:00:33.408 --> 00:00:35.577
Buying software alone is not enough.

00:00:35.577 --> 00:00:38.288
These capabilities are
clearly not exploitable

00:00:38.288 --> 00:00:40.874
without people able to
use and sense-check them.

00:00:40.874 --> 00:00:43.585
So the unlock isn't a bigger AI budget;

00:00:43.585 --> 00:00:45.670
it's about treating AI adoption

00:00:45.670 --> 00:00:47.297
as a workforce transformation.

00:00:47.297 --> 00:00:49.507
- What's most exciting and energizing

00:00:49.507 --> 00:00:52.010
is all of the new technology that's here.

00:00:52.010 --> 00:00:55.221
There's so much attention
on autonomous systems,

00:00:55.221 --> 00:00:58.975
affordable mass, CCA, etc.

00:00:58.975 --> 00:01:03.188
Militaries are grappling with
where to deploy their capital

00:01:03.188 --> 00:01:04.606
and procurement dollars.

00:01:04.606 --> 00:01:07.984
But as I walk around,
also, there's so much depth

00:01:07.984 --> 00:01:09.569
of technology and innovation

00:01:09.569 --> 00:01:11.738
on the maintenance and sustainment side

00:01:11.738 --> 00:01:16.284
where governments, MODs, public
sector would benefit so much

00:01:16.284 --> 00:01:17.952
by adopting commercial best practices

00:01:17.952 --> 00:01:20.080
and new technologies more rapidly

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:23.917
and in a more agile fashion
to get benefit today

00:01:23.917 --> 00:01:26.002
if they can figure out
how to bring that in.
