Reed-Frank Group operates at the intersection of international defense procurement, industrial policy, and cross-border market entry. The firm advises a select number of clients on complex programs where commercial, political, and institutional considerations must align. Prior work includes programs involving fifth-generation fighter aircraft, large-scale industrial participation frameworks, and the U.S. market entry of foreign industrial firms. The mandates that reach RFG rarely fit a single discipline. That is by design.

June 15–19, 2026 · Upcoming European DefenseThe global benchmark for land and air-land defense procurement. Every major offset obligation in Europe and Latin America has a connection to this floor. For companies entering new defense markets, what happens before Eurosatory matters more than what happens during it.
