In the wake of President Trump's executive order prioritizing speed and agility in DoD critical technology procurement, OTAs are in the spotlight. Guest Doug Crowe joins to explain how we navigate acquiring critical and emerging technology in the modern age. Doug Crowe is the Senior Vice President of Program Management at NSTXL.

Doug comes in with 40 years of expertise in the industry – he is a Navy veteran and is so intelligent in many different DoD systems. He brings great insight into the acquisition environment today – we explore what the executive order really means, how it could reshape defense contracting, and what the future holds for innovation across the defense industrial base.
