U.S. Aerospace Defense Group, a certified service-disabled, veteran-owned company, is a leading provider of insurance and risk-management solutions to the aerospace and defense industries, government agencies and government contractors. Unlike any other group, we are recognized by our customers as subject-matter experts in insurance as well as in the operations of the defense contracting and defense manufacturing industries.

Our leadership team, made up of military veterans, former insurance industry executives and senior leaders from the aerospace and defense manufacturing sectors, brings over 150 years of combined aerospace, defense and insurance industry experience to bear.

In many cases, we have stood in our customers' shoes, uniquely enabling us to work in close partnership with them to develop bespoke, custom-tailored insurance programs that meet the specific and unique needs at hand. Working alongside our customers as a trusted adviser, we are committed to customer service and to ensuring the success of their business and mission.

While U.S. Aerospace Defense Group is based in the U.S., we partner with the world's best, most secure and most respected insurers and reinsurers in the industry to support our customers, no matter where in the world their business takes them.

While there are many things that set U.S. Aerospace Defense Group apart from others in the market, one of the most important benefits we bring to the table is our team. This includes veteran aerospace industry executives who give our organization a customer perspective and mindset for solving critical risk management issues.

The former senior insurance underwriting executives on our team also bring extensive experience developing and implementing quantitative pricing models for aerospace and defense insurance underwriting, years of experience overseeing claims teams, managing litigation and overseeing third-party claims administrators, as well as experience placing reinsurance on large insurance portfolios exceeding $100 million in gross written premium.

We have the experience, expertise and sophistication to creatively structure complex quota share and excess placements with limits of up to $2 billion and to administer large, self-insured retentions. Our team also has a track record of successfully partnering with large organizations to deliver highly competitive affinity group programs that have generated marked upfront savings and dividend returns to their membership.

It is also important to note that, because we are a certified service-disabled, veteran-owned small business, government agencies or contractors that partner with U.S. Aerospace Defense Group can count their insurance premiums as part of their small business plan for the Individual Subcontract Report/Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System.

With a thorough understanding of the aerospace and defense industries, U.S. Aerospace Defense Group provides our customers a holistic approach to insurance and risk management. We utilize the best insurance companies and underwriters to develop highly customized solutions to meet our customers' needs and help accomplish their mission, consistently providing the most comprehensive and competitive solutions available in the market.

It is our goal to provide the insurance our customers need with the service they deserve.

U.S. Aerospace Defense Group pledges to conduct itself with the utmost integrity and transparency in all of our business dealings. We treat your business interests as our own. We strive in all matters to exceed your expectations for excellence and customer service. We conduct ourselves in a manner that is consistent with your core values and reflects favorably upon your organization.
