Summary
Modern drone manufacturers are being asked to deliver commercial-scale volume at commodity prices, while still meeting mission-critical reliability and security requirements. The manufacturing systems behind most drone programs were never designed for this reality, and at scale they fail quietly and expensively.
In this webinar, we show why most attempts to scale drone production break down and why the problem is not labor, automation, or suppliers. It is a deeper mismatch between today’s requirements and yesterday’s practices.
This webinar breaks down why conventional approaches fail at scale, why COTS is still the only viable path forward, and how a new class of incoming inspection makes it possible to scale drone manufacturing without surprises, requalification churn, or unacceptable risk.
Expert panel
Join Sebastian Fischmeister, pioneer in electronics integrity defense, and Seth Lloyd, Defense contractor advisor and U.S. Naval aviator, as they discuss the risks associated with COTS drones, and explore ways to secure rapid-delivery manufacturing. They will address the challenges organizations face as they move away from traditional aerospace approaches that are too cost and time prohibitive in a global environment of fractured defense sovereignty.
Secure Your Seat
Join drone manufacturing professionals who are at the forefront of scaling their operations.
