Welcome to Talking Aerospace Today – a podcast for the aerospace and defense industry. A place that brings the promise of tomorrow’s technology to the ears of our listeners today.

The aerospace and defense industry is experiencing an unprecedented period of growth and innovation, with all sectors from commercial to defense reporting significant investments for the next five years. However, that growth is not invulnerable, as issues such as supply chain disruptions and workforce shortages are also expected to worsen in the near future. If A&D companies wish to navigate these issues and fully capitalize on their industry’s projected prosperity, they must make additional efforts to mature their digital transformations.
