Aerospace Perspectives Series: Seeing Around Corners: Using Technology Intelligence to Guide Early-Stage R&D and Investment Decisions in Aerospace and Defense 5 November 2026 | 2–3 p.m. (ET) Online
This webinar will show aerospace and defense professionals how to use technology intelligence to “see around corners” as emerging technologies accelerate from the lab to the field. Through real-world decision scenarios, attendees will learn how to evaluate which emerging technologies to pursue, determine when a technology is mature enough for serious investment, understand what Department of War funding patterns reveal about future capability priorities, and identify where future research, development, test, and evaluation funding may create business development opportunities before solicitations are released.
What You’ll Take Away:
- Identify early signals of emerging technologies across publications, patents, grants, and venture activity.
- Separate genuine momentum from hype using growth, funding, and cross-domain signals.
- Detect critical crossover points as technologies move from academic exploration to protected IP and funded DoD programs.
- Map the aerospace and defense value chain from research and funding to early systems.
- Use FY27 DoD appropriations data to identify aligned programs before solicitations are released.
- Apply technology intelligence to prioritize R&D, shape capture strategies, and align portfolios.
