The deadline for supply chain compliance with NIST SP 800-171 under Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.204-7012 was December 31, 2017, but the enforcement of this deadline was deferred until NOW.

New NDAA Legislation Signals Possible
Future of AMP SoCal
Buried within the massive John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019 was a win for manufacturing communities across the country as the Defense Manufacturing Community Support Program (DMCSP) was signed into law last month. Many cities and regions who had previously held designation through the Obama administration's Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP) initiative were particularly interested in the outcome of this bill and what its future may hold.

Manufacturing Day 2018 in Southern California
This year, National Manufacturing Day will be on October 5. It is a celebration of modern manufacturing meant to inspire the next generation of manufacturers. It addresses common misperceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and show what manufacturing is — and what it isn’t. By working together, manufacturers will begin to address the skilled labor shortage they face, connect with future generations, take charge of the public image of manufacturing, and ensure the ongoing prosperity of the whole industry.

AIAA LA-LV Section October Dinner Meeting
TECHNOLOGY and the EVOLUTION of AIRCRAFT DESIGN
October 7, 2018 | Los Angeles, CA
Dr. Daniel P. Raymer, noted aircraft designer, educator, and author of the best-selling textbook "Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach," will give a talk on the historical development of the key technologies which have allowed the development of today's aircraft. Fun and not too technical, this presents the first reasonably successful and influential implementations of the design features that have become a common part of the Aircraft Design toolbox. It isn't about aviation records or famous pilots, it's about the aircraft and the designers whose lead we follow to this day. The talk also sneaks in some of the fundamentals of aircraft design and analysis through a historical context..
