aerospace & defense

​AaronRichards serves both private- and public-sector organizations on important issues in the aerospace and defense industry. A powerful combination of deep A&D knowledge—complemented by best practices from across industries—and diverse public-sector experience enables us to provide realistic, executable, and forward-thinking solutions to our clients.

Our consultants and experts support commercial aerospace manufacturers and service suppliers, as well as defense prime contractors and subcontractors, in developing and executing strategies to improve operations, program affordability and growth. We also serve departments and ministries of defense around the world.

Our consultants serve commercial aerospace leaders in most segments of the industry. Our clients range from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for aircraft in the commercial, business, commuter, cargo and military sectors to defense contractors to satellite and space transportation firms. We partner with these organizations to help them improve operations, program affordability and growth. We have long-standing relationships with ministries and departments of defense worldwide, helping them rescale their personnel, operations and maintenance and procurement programs as defense commitments change. We also provide strategic infrastructure planning to aviation and airport authorities. Our consultants work closely with clients to drive innovation and growth across all aspects of this large and diverse industry sector. Public and private aerospace equipment, aerospace aftermarket, defense industrial base and defense procurement organizations rely on our strategic counsel to identify and exploit new opportunities, improve existing operations, and develop strategies and processes to secure successful positions in highly competitive contracts.
