AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE Consulting
Strategic Value Partners provides management consulting services to five sectors in the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry: commercial and general aviation, military aircraft, space systems, ground defense, and shipbuilding. Strategy consulting and intensive change management for turnarounds, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, and strategic alliances are at the core of our service offerings.
Simultaneously reducing costs and generating new revenue streams has never been more critical for A&D businesses, regardless of the airspace they operate in. Consider organic and inorganic opportunities to bring new products or services to market, capture new market/customer segments, or enter new geographies.

CFIUS
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is a federal interagency committee. CFIUS is authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the US and to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the US. CFIUS possesses the authority to block, force revisions to, and even reverse transactions that fall within its broadening statutory and regulatory scope. Such transactions frequently occur in the aerospace and defense (A&D), automotive, healthcare, natural resource, and TMT industries and involve “dual-use” and military technologies, access to natural resources and related technologies, or vast quantities of personally identifiable information (e.g., databases maintained by money transfer, healthcare, and hotel management software companies)—and, the related “know-how.”
The heads of the following departments and offices are members of CFIUS:
