01 Company Overview

Supporting defense modernization and mission effectiveness.

Founded in 2008, RoundTable Defense (RTD) provides engineering, analytical, acquisition, and evaluation support to organizations responsible for developing, testing, acquiring, and fielding defense capabilities.

Our work spans systems engineering, test & evaluation, mission analytics, requirements development, and acquisition support — helping government organizations make informed decisions throughout the lifecycle of a program.

We support efforts across Army, Special Operations, Marine Corps, Missile Defense Agency, and Department of Homeland Security mission environments.

02 The RoundTable Approach

One table.
Multiple disciplines.
The same mission.

Modern defense programs rarely fail because of a single technical problem. More often, challenges emerge at the intersection of requirements, engineering, testing, acquisition, and operational execution.

RTD brings those perspectives together.

Our team combines expertise in systems engineering, mission analytics, test & evaluation, requirements development, and acquisition support to help organizations evaluate options, reduce risk, and improve decision quality.

Connected Disciplines

Requirements Development

Define mission needs and future capabilities.

Systems Engineering

Translate requirements into executable technical solutions.

Acquisition Support

Support program execution from concept through fielding.

Test & Evaluation

Assess effectiveness, suitability, and mission performance.

Mission Analysis

Deliver analytical insight for program and operational decisions.

03 Our Mission

Supporting better decisions for the warfighter.

Our mission is to help defense organizations make informed technical, operational, and acquisition decisions that improve mission outcomes.

We believe programs succeed when engineering rigor, operational understanding, analytical insight, and objective evaluation are brought together early and carried through every major decision.

Our work is focused on adding decision quality to government programs — helping leaders move forward with confidence.
