How to Modernize Defense Manufacturing Faster | Ep. 73 [Dr. Dean Bartles]
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the biggest barrier to faster, safer, and more cost-effective defense manufacturing isnโt technology, but the path to deploying it?
In this episode of Industry Ignited, Dr. Leeanne Aguilar sits down with Dr. Dean Bartles, President & CEO of the Manufacturing Technology Deployment Group (MTDG), to discuss how innovation actually reaches defense manufacturing.
With over 30 years of experience across General Dynamics, innovation institutes, and national manufacturing initiatives, Dean shares insights on why large defense organizations struggle to adopt new technology, how bureaucracy slows progress, and what it really takes to modernize U.S. manufacturing.
They explore how AI, additive manufacturing, IoT edge devices, AR/VR training, and robotics are transforming factories and why the real challenge isnโt inventing technology, but deploying it at scale.
