Past Performance, Expertise, and Skills

OVERVIEW: HILTON DEFENSE LLC. is a specialized firm providing flight operations subject matter expertise to aerospace research, development, testing & engineering firms, government agencies, defense contractors, and commercial aerospace firms.

WHY: Taking new airborne capabilities from concept & test to operational is challenging, highly regulated and demands continuous compliance with evolving risk, safety and operational standards. Government and defense contractors require specialized knowledge to ensure adherence to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and Department of Defense (DoD) regulations.

KEY DIFFERENTIATORS

  • Operator’s Mindset: Our practical, warfighter-centric approach ensures technical solutions are mission-relevant and field-ready.

  • Integration Experts: We “own the system” when others don’t—solving chronic C6ISR integration issues that plague legacy and emerging programs.

  • Proven Track Record: From SOCOM missions to high-stakes test flights, our experience spans the full lifecycle of aerospace and ISR system development.

  • Hands-On Execution: We’re not consultants—we build, fly, test, and fix the systems we support.

Combined Strengths

  • Strategic Leadership: Proven track record in leading multimillion-dollar defense and aerospace projects with innovative solutions.

  • Technical Expertise: Mastery in advanced communications, AI integration, UAS systems, and ISR operations.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Extensive experience working across industry, interagency, and international organizations.
