Bastion Atlas SONAR
Know first. Move first.
Tailored early-warning intelligence and weekly opportunities for Aerospace & Defense growth teams. Our engine studies more than 500 sources of opportunity, budget, program, customer, and industry information every week — and senior operators turn the signal into prioritized pursuits, market implications, and recommended actions. Multiple briefings, every week, built for you.
$999 per month for the Founding 30 — $1,750 per month after.
In Aerospace & Defense, no BD team can be everywhere all at once — and opportunities don't announce themselves. They hide in sources-sought notices, committee markups, line items in allied budgets, a competitor's stumble on a protest docket. By the time an RFP comes out, the winner has been shaping it for a year. Most teams find out too late — or drown trying to keep up. We built the fix.
Opportunity Report
New pursuits worth your attention — contracts, solicitations, programs, early signals in the news, and teaming openings, each assessed against your specific capabilities and paired with a recommended action.
The deliverables
What you receive, every week
Market Intel Report
A tailored analysis of the developments that actually affect your business — budgets, programs, competitors, customers, and policy — with the so-what spelled out.
Opportunity Refresh
Movement on everything we're tracking for you: what advanced, what changed, what's approaching a deadline, and what to do next.
Global Industry News Summary
The week's Aerospace & Defense news, worldwide, filtered to what's pertinent to you. Read one brief instead of forty tabs.
Every SONAR report is custom-tailored to each subscriber. No two clients receive the same briefs.
How it works
Signal in. Judgment applied. Briefs out.
1 — The engine scans.
More than 500 sources, every week — solicitation portals, budget documents, prime contractors, committee calendars, protest dockets, and the global trade press. Purpose-built exclusively for Aerospace & Defense business development.
2 — An operator curates.
A Bastion Atlas expert — a BD operator, not an algorithm — analyzes what the engine finds against your business, decides what you see, and why.
3 — You act.
Delivered to your inbox weekly — ready to forward, table at Monday's standup, or hand to your capture team.
AI compiles the database. A human expert digs deeper and decides what you see. At Bastion, that is non-negotiable.
Built for
Teams that can't afford
to see it second
Commercial and dual-use companies entering defense.
Foreign companies entering the U.S. or broader North American market.
Established suppliers and integrators pursuing new customers, programs, geographies, or adjacencies — without hiring an intel staff.
Leadership teams that need a defensible view of where to invest BD resources.
What changes because of SONAR
Decisions,
not data
Which opportunities enter your pipeline.
Which pursuits receive capture resources.
Which customers get attention now.
Which market and forecast assumptions leadership should revisit.
Which program movements, deadlines, protests, budgets, or competitor actions demand a response this week.
Purpose-built for A&D BD
Not a generic feed, not a search bar — a system designed around how defense business is actually won.
The deliverables
Four reasons this works
Tailored to you
A structured intake maps your capabilities, target customers, verticals, and geographies. The engine and the analyst both work from your profile.
Expert judgment on every page
You're not paying for data. You're paying for what 250+ years of collective BD experience decides to put in front of you.
Priced for the whole team
A low monthly fee — a fraction of legacy intelligence platforms — with the analysis already done.
