Jill Bruning -- president of Amentum's engineering, science and technology group -- provides an overview of the government services company's approach to tech and how it made hypersonics and counter-unmanned aerial systems key priorities on that front.

Amentum's identity as an engineering and technical services provider naturally places the company at the front end of many large-scale efforts by government customers to incorporate new technologies.

Where the federal government's second-largest services provider is concentrating its time and resources in technology is the focus of this episode featuring Jill Bruning -- president of Amentum's engineering science and technology group.

Bruning explains to our Ross Wilkers that much of Amentum's tech focus centers on the front end: so think of work like research, development and testing of advanced systems.

The conversation also works its way to hypersonics and counter-unmanned aerial systems, two areas that Bruning sees as being like most technologies: on an accelerated development cycle that means today's inventions can often get quickly outpaced by tomorrow's.
