Strategic Advisory for Aerospace, Defense, and Security

Consulting, market intelligence and trade compliance for EU & US A&D

Strategy. Intelligence. Compliance.

A&D Consulting & Industry Expertise

We help you design and execute capture strategies, stand up PMO/operating models, and harden supply chains—anchored by platform and systems expertise across air, land, naval, and space. Expect senior, independent, confidential guidance with EU & US coverage.

Typical questions we address

  • Which programs/platforms should we prioritize to win in the next 12–24 months?

  • How should we structure the PMO and governance to accelerate decision-making and reduce slippage?

  • Which suppliers/components drive cost, schedule, or qualification risk, and how do we mitigate?

  • How will EU/NATO budgets and policies impact approvals, timelines, and partner choices?

  • What is the cost-out/resilience plan that protects margin without increasing risk?

Deliverables you receive

  • Strategy notes & capture plans: target programs, win themes, discriminators, and gate criteria.

  • Executive decision memos: options, trade-offs, and a recommended course of action.

  • PMO playbooks & dashboards: RACI, cadences, KPIs, and escalation paths.

  • Supply-chain risk files: critical items, dual-source plans, qualification timelines, and mitigation actions.

  • Rapid expert access: 24-hour expert call + written takeaways; 48–72h rapid brief on a platform/system.


Market & Competitive Intelligence

We deliver decision-ready intelligence for opportunity sizing, market entry, and competitor/partner landscapes—connecting policy dynamics with industrial implications so you can act with confidence. EU & US coverage.

Typical questions we address

  • What is the 12–24 month outlook for our segment/platform (demand, funding, and pacing)?

  • Where can we differentiate on requirements, cost, or schedule to increase win rate and margin?

  • Which partners (OEM/Tier/SME) unlock access, reduce risk, or accelerate time-to-award?

  • How are competitors positioned (portfolio gaps, pricing posture, alliances), and where are they vulnerable?

  • What market-entry pathway (prime, partner, JV, acquisition) best fits our constraints and timing?

Deliverables you receive

  • Market & competitor briefs with comparable KPIs, funding signals, and scenario ranges.

  • Partner/landscape maps: shortlists with screening criteria, red flags, and outreach priorities.

  • Customer/program assessments: requirement evolution, evaluation factors, and decision calendar.

  • Market-entry & positioning memos: strategy options, trade-offs, and an actionable go-to-market plan.

  • Monitoring pack: monthly update on programs, policy, and competitor moves to stay ahead.


Trade Compliance & Procurement

We advise on ITAR/EAR export controls end-to-end — classification (ECCN/USML), licensing and exceptions, dual-use controls, sanctions & denied-party screening, NATO procurement support, and supplier due-diligence — so programs move faster with lower risk. Senior, independent, confidential guidance across the EU & US.

Typical questions we address:
– Is the item ITAR- or EAR-controlled? What is the ECCN/USML and does EAR99 apply?
– Do we need a license or exception? What are the timelines, provisos and re-transfer constraints?
– Are there sanctions/embargo issues, end-use/end-user risks, or country/partner red flags?
– How do NATO procurement rules and supplier risk affect our bid, delivery and disclosure strategy?

Deliverables you receive:
Classification matrix with rationale and citations (ITAR/EAR, EU dual-use).
License strategy & application package (forms, statements, provisos, timelines).
Sanctions & screening report (denied parties, end-use/end-user, red-flag resolution).
Supplier due-diligence memo with risk rating and mitigations.
NATO procurement checklist & bid support (documentation, disclosures, approvals).
Decision brief summarizing risks, actions, owners and dates.
