Strong demand for next generation aircrafts, growing passenger traffic, and heightened security threats are a few of the challenges aerospace and defense (A&D) industry leaders face. Moreover, with increased pressure on military spending, departments and ministries of defense have started seeking vendors outside of the core defense industry, particularly technology firms, creating an even more competitive industry environment.
With increasing A&D industry challenges the pressure is on for companies to create realistic & viable business plans to plan for long-term success. We support aerospace, defense manufacturers and service suppliers, as well as prime contractors and subcontractors, in developing and executing their M&A strategies to improve operations and support growth. See how we can help you.
