About Booz Allen Hamilton

Booz Allen Hamilton's defense offering combines mission expertise with software, artificial intelligence, tactical systems, electronic warfare, autonomy and rapid prototyping. The company integrates commercial technologies and develops capabilities for government users, rather than concentrating on a single aircraft, ship or vehicle production line. Its work includes operational decision support and the modernization of defense systems and workflows. Companywide revenue includes customers outside DoD, and contract-vehicle ceilings do not measure spending received. Its workforce spans software developers, engineers, analysts, cybersecurity specialists and program personnel, with assignments at corporate offices and customer locations. Its announced Reston headquarters is expected to open in fall 2027; the move remains planned as of this review.
