Sectors
We work where technology, national security, and operational excellence converge.
Nine sectors where deep expertise, government relationships, and operational infrastructure compound into advantage.
01
Defense Technology
The Department of Defense is in the midst of a generational technology transition. From autonomous systems and directed energy to electronic warfare and advanced sensors, the capabilities that will define the next era of national defense are being built today, often by small and mid-size companies operating far from the Pentagon. We work with defense technology companies at every stage, bringing direct experience in defense acquisition, test and evaluation, and program management, including time inside the F-35 Joint Program Office and Air Force flight test operations.

Autonomous Systems & AI
The DoD requested $13.4 billion for AI and autonomy programs in FY2026, its largest single-year commitment to these technologies. The counter-UAS mission alone attracted $3.1 billion. Autonomous logistics, collaborative combat aircraft, AI-driven intelligence analysis, and GPS-denied navigation are moving from concept to production. Our team includes engineers who have developed GPS-denied drone navigation, AI-powered training tools, and agentic intelligence systems deployed in operational environments.

Cybersecurity & Compliance
CMMC 2.0 Phase 1 enforcement began in November 2025. Over the next three years, an estimated 80,000 to 118,000 defense contractors will need to achieve certification to keep doing business with DoD. Level 2 alone requires 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls. We help companies navigate this transition, from gap assessment and remediation planning through certification readiness, along with ITAR, FedRAMP, and CUI handling requirements.

Government Contracting
The federal government recorded $773.68 billion in FY2024 federal contract awards, a record. Yet federal procurement remains one of the most complex business environments in the world. US Defense Group and our affiliated platform GovSeek provide the intelligence, strategy, and operational support to compete effectively, helping companies build capture pipelines, structure teaming agreements, and navigate SBIR and STTR programs reauthorized through 2031 with ~$6 billion in annual funding.

Dual-Use Innovation
The most promising defense technologies often have commercial applications, and the most disruptive commercial technologies often have defense utility. The Defense Innovation Unit, AFWERX, NavalX, and Army Futures Command create pathways for commercial technology to enter defense, but navigating them requires understanding both worlds. US Defense Group sits at this intersection, helping dual-use companies build the compliance and security infrastructure required to operate within defense.

Gov-Tech
Government technology is a $343 billion market in the United States, growing ~4% annually. State and local governments alone allocate over $103 billion to IT systems each year. US Defense Group operates in this space through GovSoft, which has deployed statewide government technology platforms processing real-time financial transactions across multiple layers of government.

Space & Defense
The U.S. Space Force budget reached $29.4 billion in FY2025, and the broader space economy is projected to exceed $1.8 trillion by 2035. From satellite communications and space domain awareness to launch infrastructure and on-orbit servicing, the convergence of commercial space and national security is creating opportunities for companies that can operate across both domains.

Defense Supply Chain
The defense supply chain spans 300,000+ defense companies and suppliers across multiple tiers, and its fragility has become a national security concern. From microelectronics and rare earth minerals to munitions production and critical castings, the Pentagon is investing billions to reshore, diversify, and modernize the industrial base that underpins every weapons system and platform in the U.S. arsenal.

Simulation & Training
The military simulation and training market is projected to grow from $14.2 billion in 2024 to over $22 billion by 2032. As live training costs rise and synthetic environments become more capable, the DoD is shifting toward digital twins, AI-driven adversaries, and LVC (Live, Virtual, Constructive) integration to prepare forces for multi-domain operations.
