DEFENSE INNOVATION
Space is not the place to win a nuclear war.
But Earth is where we stop it.
Innovation for the Real World
Our clients want their work to count.
Maybe that's why Washington's thought leaders look to us for early intelligence and insight on key topics impacting public policy, national defense and economic security.
CAN NANO PARTICLES IMPROVE LINE-OF- SIGHT MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS?
Because nanoparticles can communicate across ultralong distances, the stacked architecture offers new possibilities for secure communications and intercept in fiber optics drone warfare; and air & missile defense.
We deliver technology and strategy innovation to turn customer need into commercial and government solutions.

We were honored to support Lockheed Martin and its Ft Belvoir, VA innovation lab with signal, space & satellite electronics design and patent input.
Our intelligence, compliance, and technology insights consistently put our government and business clients ahead of the competition (or enemy) in critical arenas.
'Absolutely Preventable'
Since September 11, 2001; DC Strategic has supported flight safety and engineering analysis. We support government, corporate, and legal fact finding and intelligence analysis across market sectors. Our engineering analytics starts with retracing the earliest functional and business requirements and design; and ends with analysing pilot or user training, reported incidents, and personal stakeholder interviews.
The week of the tragic Potomac River crash between a US Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Eagle jet, we contradicted every published report or suspicion of accident cause, to be the first entity to name the FAA and Air Traffic Control as the likely root cause of this tragedy that claimed 265 lives. Several months later, US Transportation Secretary Patrick Duffy concurred, saying this was an 'absolutely preventable' mid-air collision, and citing Tower errors and intentional disregard for established "hot spot' (runway 33) and US Federal law (FAA separation rules).
We were the first to say that it was not the US Army pilot or USAR equipment that caused this crash. Instead, we asked NTSB and the FAA to examine why both aircraft were deliberately steered into a predictable mid-air collision. At exactly the spot red-flagged for likely mid-air collision on FAA Airport maps, if helicopater and jet traffic were mixed over Runway 33. The DCA tower led both craft into a 0' horizontal, and 150' vertical separation course - insanity. And redirected the AA Eagle onto Runway 33, never to be used when helicopter traffic was in the vincinity. Neither pilot had reason to expect another aircraft anywhere near them - that was forbidden under US Federal law. Federal law exists to protect us. It must be obeyed.
We deliver actionable, early insight and guidance to executives and their teams.
