Executive Briefings — Flagship
Major General (Retired) Rob Barrie’s Aerospace & Defense Outlook
Our flagship executive briefing on U.S. Aerospace & Defense Government Contracting trends and indicators — including an expert analysis on budgets, acquisition priorities, program movement, technology, and industrial-base pressures, with industry-specific implication sections. Delivered by Major General (Ret.) Rob Barrie, former U.S. Army Program Executive Officer for Aviation and Deputy for Army Acquisition & Systems Management. Designed for boards, executive committees, and sales, business development, and strategy teams that need the strategic ground truth directly from a senior U.S. Government acquisition leader’s perspective, not the trade-press version.
