Case Study 1: Market Access for a Commercial Business
Sentinel has been assisting a commercial small business in entering the defense marketplace. While this company has a strong track record in its sector, it had no prior experience working with the DOD, DHS, or defense prime integrators.
What We Did:
- Educated the client on market access options, including business-to-business and business-to-Government opportunities.
- Guided them through the defense research network to identify funding and research award opportunities.
Outcome:
The client is now equipped to explore and enter the defense industry confidently. If your business is new to the defense market, we can help you understand the requirements and succeed in this profitable sector.
Case Study 2: Product Development for an Engineering Firm
Sentinel has been under instruction by a commercial small business to help them gain access to the defense market place. This business has a well-established track record of growth in their sector but no experience in working with the DOD or DHS directly or via defense prime integrators. Sentinel is helping them understand their options to gain market access via both business-to-business and business-to-Government. Sentinel is also helping this partner understand research opportunities within the defense research network, how to apply for funding and compete for research awards. If your business has no experience in the defense marketplace, Sentinel can help you understand what it takes to enter the potentially very profitable defense industry and help you get there.
What We Did:
- Conducted competitive and market analysis to identify opportunities.
- Created a product roadmap and detailed product specifications.
- Developed a comprehensive marketing launch plan, including trade shows and a revamped website.
Outcome:
The firm is on track to launch its new product line and expand into new markets. If your business wants to explore new products and markets, Sentinel can guide you every step of the way.

What We Did:
- Assessed the benefits and challenges of establishing US-based production.
- Provided guidance on compliance issues and strategies for working within the US defense market as a foreign entity.
Outcome:
The firm now understands the requirements to operate successfully as a supplier and partner in the US defense industry. Whether you’re a US or foreign company, Sentinel can help you navigate compliance and market challenges.
Case Study 4: Surplus Material Sales for a Defense Contractor
Sentinel worked with a major defense contractor to sell surplus materials from a canceled defense program.
What We Did:

- Explored domestic and international sales avenues, including direct sales and auction websites.
Outcome:
The contractor was able to monetize surplus items efficiently. Sentinel’s unique expertise in salvage and surplus sales ensures that all materials can find a market.
