Overview

Mission readiness in a contested century.

We help primes, suppliers and defense ministries modernise fleets, de-risk complex programmes and build resilient supply bases as budgets, threats and technologies shift faster than procurement cycles.

Defense budgets are rising for the first time in a generation while commercial aerospace works through record backlogs and fragile supply chains. Winners will be those who can ramp production reliably, adopt digital engineering and partner with a new wave of technology entrants.

Our aerospace & defense team brings together sector specialists, data scientists and implementation experts, working as one team with clients from the boardroom to the front line.

Questions we help answer
  1. 01How do we raise production rates without sacrificing quality or margin?
  2. 02Which suppliers are single points of failure, and what is our plan B?
  3. 03How should we work with venture-backed defense technology companies?
How we help clients

6 areas where our industry teams bring deep expertise, proven methods and hands-on support.

We diagnose cost, schedule and quality issues on development and production programmes and put recovery plans in place. Teams work alongside engineering and supply-chain leaders to stabilise delivery and restore customer confidence.

We help manufacturers raise build rates safely by balancing lines, removing bottlenecks and synchronising suppliers. The result is predictable output that meets airline and government delivery commitments.

We map dependencies deep into the supply base, identify single points of failure and design dual-sourcing and inventory strategies. Critical parts get the attention they need before shortages hit the line.

We design maintenance, repair and overhaul models, digital services and long-term support contracts. These businesses deliver steadier, higher-margin revenue across the life of each platform.

We help ministries and armed forces adopt commercial technology, reform acquisition and bring new suppliers into the ecosystem. Capability reaches the field faster and budgets go further.

We support the move to model-based engineering, digital twins and connected factories. Design changes become faster and cheaper, and quality problems are caught earlier.
