Who we are
We have sat on your side of the table. Our leaders have written requirements, run programs and executed missions inside the organizations we now support.

Capabilities
Six domains. One operational picture.
We integrate across the intelligence community and the warfighter so decision-makers move with clarity, from strategy and analysis through acquisition and execution.
01
Intelligence
IC strategy and all-source analysis that turn fragmented reporting into a shared operational picture across agencies.
02
Acquisitions
Defense procurement and SETA support that de-risk programs and align acquisition strategy to the mission.
03
Space
Satellite architecture and space-systems modernization across orbital regimes, with sensors integrated end to end.
04
Special Operations
SOF mission support and ISR integration that compress the planning cycle when timelines are unforgiving.
05
Systems Engineering
Disciplined engineering that keeps complex, multi-system programs technically sound and on mission.
06
Operations
Day-to-day mission execution and sustainment that keeps operational tempo and decision cycles moving when it counts.
Our mission
We deliver expert advisory and engineering support that helps the federal government make sound decisions and field capability faster.

Experience
Where our leadership has served.
Our leadership is drawn from a deliberately small pool: officers and civilians selected for the most demanding assignments in defense and intelligence, vetted through the government’s most rigorous security screening, and trusted with programs where the margin for error is zero. They bring that standard to every engagement, and they hold every SOG hire to it.

Careers
Work on the missions you read about. And the ones you never will.
SOG people work inside the programs that put capability in orbit and in the hands of the warfighter. If you have flown, operated, collected or analyzed for this country, your next mission is here. We also recruit researchers and analysts from top universities, national labs and think tanks who want their work in the hands of decision-makers.
Every role requires an active TS/SCI with Polygraph. On-site in Chantilly, Virginia.
