For decades, we’ve been facilitating technology transition, connecting technical communities, and driving training and education programs in key aerospace domains.
Because experience matters.

As aerospace and defense industries embrace cutting-edge technologies, workforce development is critical to delivering current and future mission capabilities. Collaboration between industry leaders, educational institutions, and government agencies is essential to create training and education programs that align with the evolving needs of the sector.

ARCTOS serves the Department of Defense and other government and industry customers via multiple in-house teams spanning this important area. Our training and technology transfer team works across government, industry, and academia to develop, refine, and replicate advanced training programs in automation, artificial intelligence, digital manufacturing, and other critical technologies. Our educational outreach team manages a variety of agency-focused science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs for federal customers. And our events team provides complete support to organize and execute technical conference series in key domains, to include air vehicles, advanced materials, turbine engines, aircraft sustainment, and defense manufacturing.

Advanced Manufacturing Training Initiatives

Equipping the industrial base with the skills to master cutting-edge technologies to accelerate defense production.

The U.S. defense industrial base faces an aging and shrinking workforce while simultaneously needing to ramp up its industrial capacity to continue to serve as the arsenal of democracy in an ever more dangerous world. To meet this challenge, the industrial base requires more skilled workers in advanced technologies like automation, AI, and next-generation manufacturing methods to meet defense production needs.

Towards this end, ARCTOS spearheaded the Ohio Smart Manufacturing Training Initiative in 2021. Now in its second phase and with over $20M in federal funds to date, the program has served as a model for defense-focused technology training. Under this effort, ARCTOS experts in robotics and automation, laser manufacturing, and digital transformation work with government stakeholders, industrial partners, and educational institutions to develop, assess, replicate, and scale technology programs to meet agency needs.

ARCTOS is working with numerous stakeholders to expand this model to other technology domains and geographic areas in support of Air Force, Navy, and other customers. From managing large multi-partner programs to providing select commercial services, our team of industrial training and technology transfer experts is ready to enable your organization to address its technology workforce development challenges.

“I want to acknowledge the excellence that ARCTOS continues to demonstrate in the organization and execution of the annual Aircraft Airworthiness and Sustainment (AA&S) Conference. [The ARCTOS] staff are truly professional and make each conference a resounding success, even while accommodating concurrent on-site and virtual participants. I consider the AA&S Conference critical to our business because of its unique purpose of bringing domestic and international industry and government airworthiness leaders together … No other professional forum provides this opportunity and service.”

— Don M. Roberts, Chairman, Association of Airworthiness Professionals

“The affiliation between ARCTOS Meetings Management Department and the Association of Airworthiness Professionals (AAP) continues to flourish as the result of a partnership established over several years in presenting the Aircraft Airworthiness and Sustainment Conference. Jill Jennewine and her great staff provide excellent leadership in planning and execution, which has resulted in solid increases in conference interest and participation.”

— Richard Russell, Technical Fellow, NASA Engineering & Safety Center

“The ARCTOS Meetings Management team is the best!  I’ve been involved with numerous events run by the ARCTOS team and they do a fantastic job!  It doesn’t matter what size your meeting is, they have the staff to fully manage your event. They take care of all the details quickly and professionally!”
