August 25, 2026

DEFTEC has officially joined the The University of Alabama in Huntsville Charger Partner Edge Program!


The photo of Katie Beardsley and Dr. Michael Poll captures the heart of this new collaboration. Their meeting marks the beginning of a partnership that will provide DEFTEC employees with 15% off tuition at UAH, opening doors for continued education, advanced degrees, and expanded career pathways. Paired with DEFTEC’s Tuition Assistance Program, this creates a powerful support system for employees who want to grow, upskill, and achieve new milestones in their professional journeys.

UAH is an exceptional institution with a wide range of programs, and the partnership is even more meaningful because DEFTEC is headquartered right here in Huntsville. Strengthening educational ties within our own community is exactly the kind of growth we’re excited to lean into.
Great things are happening, and we’re proud to invest in our people while expanding our community connections. Here’s to collaboration, education, and opportunity!

*Special thanks to Ryan Beardsley for connecting Dr. Poll with our team in the first place.

DEFTEC Awarded Multi-Base Contract Supporting HQ Air Force Global Strike Command's Directorate of Strategic Plans, Programs, and Requirements (A5/8) Basing Division

DEFTEC Awarded Multi-Base Contract Supporting HQ Air Force Global Strike Command's Directorate of Strategic Plans, Programs, and Requirements (A5/8) Basing Division

July 8, 2026

DEFTEC is honored to announce a new multi-base contract award in support of the B-21 Raider bed-down mission.

The B-21 Raider isn't just a new aircraft; it is the cornerstone of America's next-generation nuclear deterrence and global strike capability. Standing up the infrastructure, operations, logistics, and communications to support the Raider across multiple bases is one of the most consequential force integration efforts underway in the Air Force today. DEFTEC is proud to play a role in it.

Under this award, DEFTEC will provide Advisory and Assistance Support (A&AS) to HQ Air Force Global Strike Command's Directorate of Strategic Plans, Programs, and Requirements (A5/8) Basing Division, embedded across three bomber bases: Ellsworth AFB, SD · Whiteman AFB, MO · Dyess AFB, TX.

Our team will provide expertise across five critical mission areas, Civil Engineering, Logistics Management, Bomber Operations, Communications Infrastructure, and Administrative Support, working side-by-side with installation leadership to ensure the B-21's operational foundation is built right from the beginning.

This work reflects who DEFTEC is: a small business built around experienced professionals who understand the complexity of real defense programs. Our team brings direct operational, engineering, and logistics experience to every engagement, not just advisory distance. That's the standard our clients expect, and it's the standard we hold ourselves to.

We are grateful for the confidence HQ AFGSC has placed in our team, and we are committed to delivering the quality of support this mission demands.
