Thought Leadership, Trends, Client Stories, and Capabilities
A dedicated space for you to read valuable insights, thought-provoking analyses, and expert perspectives on the complex and evolving landscape of national security.
Duty, integrity, excellence, and service before self—these are the hallmarks of the United States military. They are also the same values that define Systems Planning & Analysis (SPA). Founded over 50 years ago, SPA has remained committed to supporting national security for the U.S. and its allies across all domains—land, sea, air, space, and cyber.
Ensuring the credibility and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear deterrent requires not only technical expertise and strategic foresight but also a commitment to developing the next generation of nuclear analysts. At Systems Planning and Analysis (SPA), this responsibility is embodied in the Nuclear Analyst Community of Interest (COI), founded and led by Tom Troyano, SPA’s Fellow for Nuclear Modernization.
The national security landscape is shifting rapidly. Advances in technology, evolving geopolitical tensions, and the increasing complexity of modern warfare are challenging long-standing defense strategies. For senior military and government leaders, the challenge is not just keeping pace but staying ahead—anticipating change before it arrives and preparing accordingly.
In an age where technology evolves at a breakneck pace, military strategies must adapt to maintain relevance and effectiveness. The Marine Corps’ Force Design 2030 (FD2030) initiative represents a bold step forward—not just in acquiring cutting-edge technologies but in creating an integrated, systems-oriented approach to warfare.
Welcome to “Focus: SPA Perspectives,” our new blog which offers valuable insights, thought-provoking analyses, and expert perspectives on the complex and evolving landscape of national security.
