What the Army is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Army's Systems Engineering & Architecture office is hosting an Industry Day focused on digital engineering. This event is an opportunity for vendors to learn about the Army's latest accomplishments in this area and to understand the challenges where industry support may be needed.
While this is an informational event and not a solicitation, it is a chance for businesses to gain insight into future Army needs and priorities related to digital engineering. Participating can help position your firm for potential future contracts.
