Endless Forge Industry Day
Headline: Adaptive, Surge-Capable, Resilient, and Scalable Manufacturing
Endless Forge is a cutting-edge initiative designed to modernize the U.S. defense industrial base, ensuring our nation can develop and produce the systems our warfighters need at the speed of relevance.
Why Attend
Endless Forge is an AFRL-led program created to accelerate how the Department of the Air Force (DAF) connects design, production and supply chain—so capability can be produced, adapted, and scaled faster than traditional timelines. This Industry Day provides direct insight into the program’s vision, structure, and near-term opportunities. On February 20th, 2026, AFRL posted a multiple authority announcement (MAA) soliciting white papers for Endless Forge across two areas of interest (AOIs).
That announcement can be found here: https://sam.gov/opp/0b0e993395c2486d80014e99b7b5070b/view.
Attendees will gain:
• Clear understanding of Endless Forge objectives, strategy, and outcomes
• Insight into two Areas of Interest: Digital Technology Sprints (AOI 01) and “Manufacturing-as-a-Service” (MaaS) demonstration pathfinders (AOI 02)
• A chance to position capabilities against real demand signals and transition pathways
• Visibility into the types of partners the Department of the Air Force seeks across digital, manufacturing, and supply chain
