The federal market has fundamentally changed — and the January Executive Order “Prioritizing the Warfighter in Defense Contracting” is only part of the story. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OB3) has injected historic funding into defense priorities, but as The Chertoff Group has argued, OB3 is the accelerant, not the cause. The deeper shift is structural: how the Department of War defines needs, allocates risk, awards contracts, and holds contractors accountable has been permanently rewired.
For executives and growth teams operating in the defense industrial base, the window to adapt is narrow. The FY2027 defense budget of $1.5 trillion represents an unprecedented opportunity — but only for firms that understand the new rules of the game.
In this webinar, The Chertoff Group will break down what this transformation means for your pipeline, your governance structure, and your competitive positioning.
What You’ll Learn:
- How OB3 funding and the Executive Order on defense acquisition are reshaping contract priorities — and why the structural changes will outlast any single piece of legislation
- What the shift to the Warfighting Acquisition System means for capture strategy: why speed to delivery is now a performance threshold, not a goal
- How Portfolio Acquisition Executives have displaced program-level relationships as the real center of gravity — and what that means for your BD approach
- What a 30-day performance review cycle means for your board, your finance team, and your executive compensation structure
- How to build a capital reinvestment posture that meets DOW scrutiny while protecting shareholder value
- Supply chain security obligations flowing down to sub-tier contractors
- Proactive steps for audits, governance playbooks, and IP realignment — before a performance trigger forces your hand
