What is unique to ABDG Aerospace compared to other defense/homeland security consultants?

ABDG can help clients not only in the defense and homeland security industries, but also before Congress. ABDG has a highly successful track record representing client’s interests before Congress, both in policy and appropriations. ABDG has fostered client teaming relationships, facilitated mergers and acquisitions, and has an international presence that is bearing fruit for foreign and domestic business interests. Additionally, ABDG also can help firms with the U.S. government approval process of defense article exports. This broad range of client services is exceptionally good for any firm, but is critical to the success of ABDG and its clients and it is what differentiates us from other firms or independent consultants who cannot match its subject matter expertise, high levels of personal contacts and outstanding relationships inside of government and industry.
