How DLA is Transforming Defense Logistics Through Data and AI

The Defense Logistics Agency recently published its Digital Strategy 2025-2030 which lays out the agency’s critical focus areas and supporting initiatives for government and industry partners for the next five years.

Adarryl Roberts is the agency’s Chief Information Officer and director for DLA Information Operations, and the lead architect behind DLA’s Digital Strategy. Prior to his selection as CIO in 2023, Mr. Roberts was appointed to the Senior Executive Service and selected as the DLA Program Executive Officer. In his PEO role, Mr. Roberts was instrumental in leading DLA’s Digital Business Transformation efforts to modernize, transform, and fundamentally change the way DLA provides value to its customers.

This September 29-30, Mr. Roberts will be on-site at IDGA’s Defense Logistics & Support Summit to share insights on DLA’s artificial intelligence strategy. Before the summit, IDGA sat down with Mr. Roberts to discuss how AI is mitigating supply chain risks, the ways DLA supports its industry partners, and much more.

The two-day Defense Logistics & Support Summit in Reston, Virginia, will feature leaders such as Mr. Roberts from across the defense ecosystem to discuss the cutting-edge technology shaping the future of defense logistics and procurement to support the warfighter, including the use of AI, data analytics for prediction and maintenance, unmanned delivery, and more.
