WEBINAR: AI for Defense: Inside RTX's Connected Factory & GDMS Analytics Center of Excellence

November 4, 2026
2:00 pm ET / 11:00 am PT

The Defense Industrial Base is under growing pressure to strengthen cybersecurity, scale advanced manufacturing, and connect data across complex supply chains. AI can help, but only when built on unified, governed, and accessible data.

This session showcases how RTX Corporation and General Dynamics Mission Systems are using Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud to modernize defense operations. RTX’s Adam Freseman and Crystal Taton will share how Raytheon’s Connected Factory unifies real-time machine data to enable factory-floor AI. Obaid Masih of GDMS will highlight AI-driven supply chain workflows, including Document AI, ontology layers, and knowledge graphs. Snowflake experts Greg Sloyer and Saad Facchine will provide industry context and a live demo.

Attend this webinar and learn:

Connected Factory on Snowflake: How RTX unifies real-time machine, production, and design data through a governed Unified Name Space to enable AI across sites.
Data Foundations for Scale: Why reliable ingestion, governance, and data quality are essential to building scalable AI.
Deep Learning Center of Excellence: How GDMS uses Snowflake for supplier PO extraction, contract intelligence, and emerging agentic AI.
Ontology Layers & Secure Collaboration: How GDMS uses knowledge graphs, secure sharing, and clean rooms for cross-program supply chain visibility and collaboration.
Start Now, Deliver Today: Practical steps defense manufacturers can take today to build an AI-ready connected factory incrementally.
