One could argue the aerospace and defense industry came up with the concept of digital transformation. This industry includes the inventors, thinkers, and builders who launched the Transit satellite, the predecessor to our modern-day global positioning system (GPS) in 1960; built the first computer mouse in 1964; and developed ARPANET, the Internet precursor, in 1969.
The aerospace and defense industry has been transforming since its inception. Any conversation about the impact digital transformation may have on this industry is likely less about identifying the challenges they face and more about teaching everyone else their digital transformation best practices.
