VCOE - San Antonio, TX

Virtual Center of Excellence: Enabling Mission-Ready Manufacturing for the DoD

The Virtual Center of Excellence (VCOE) brings together defense stakeholders, manufacturers, and mission-support partners to accelerate the delivery of trusted, deployable manufacturing capabilities to the warfighter. This is not a general information session. The VCOE is designed to align real operational problems with executable manufacturing solutions, with a focus on additive manufacturing, sustainment, and logistics resilience.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how parts move from validated technical data to compliant, deliverable hardware, and how industry can participate in DoD sustainment in a way that reduces lead times, increases readiness, and lowers risk.

Event Highlights

• How DoD sustainment challenges are translated into manufacturable, executable work

• Real-world workflows for TDP validation, additive manufacturing, and delivery

• Insights from government, prime, and mission-support leaders on readiness and supply chain resilience

• Industrial Wargaming sessions that stress-test manufacturing and logistics under realistic constraints

Who Should Attend

• Aerospace and defense manufacturers

• CNC and precision machine shops

• Additive manufacturing providers and adopters

• Quality, compliance, and sustainment-focused companies

• Organizations seeking to support DoD readiness and reduce Aircraft on Ground (AOG) time

Why Attend?

If you want to understand how to participate in DoD sustainment in a way that actually works, you need to be in this room. The VCOE provides clarity on roles, expectations, and execution, not just theory. You will leave with a practical understanding of how industry, government, and mission-support partners collaborate to deliver parts faster, reduce risk, and improve warfighter readiness.

This event is designed for companies ready to move beyond interest and into execution.
