Defense Industries
Change is a constant in the defense industry.
On the government side, policy and doctrine are continuously updated as the nature of the threat evolves. This evolution drives war-fighting requirements and research in new directions. To prosper, defense companies must successfully align their products and technologies with the new requirements. In addition, Department of Defense research laboratories must determine how to maximize the return on their R&D investment; given the new realities, what combination of programs will provide the most significant and impactful results?
Navigant professionals provide services to the Department of Defense, prime contractors and the investment community to optimize decision-making and strategic planning in an ever-changing landscape. Our services include R&D portfolio analysis, performance excellence through benchmarking, operations optimization and restructuring, scenario-based planning and visioning, emerging technologies exploitation, product positioning, and business, product, market and technical due diligence.
