Sector Focus

The industry sectors below are just some of the defense and aerospace (“A&D”) markets where SSG offers actionable insights, hands-on experience and valuable networks, including institutional investors focused on these markets and strategic players seeking growth in them.

Given increasing threats to the US interior, and rapid growth in the Pentagon’s “homeland defense” mission,  we add the physical security sector — where SSG has assisted companies for many years — to the traditional A&D market.*

*A top priority of the Trump Administrations’ 2026 National Defense Strategy is to: “Defend the U.S. Homeland. We will secure America’s borders and maritime approaches, and we will defend our nation’s skies through Golden Dome for America and a renewed focus on countering unmanned aerial threats.” 
Defense of the homeland includes securing American critical infrastructure from threats by foreign enemies and preparing for “Gray Zone” warfare and sabotage of civilian systems, increasingly seen in Europe. 
While physical security companies will continue to realize most of their revenue from commercial enterprises,  some will also be called to help defend the homeland against threats from nation states. SSG assists companies across the security solutions spectrum.
