Strategic Analysis began operations in Arlington, Virginia in May of 1986, quickly establishing a name for itself by winning competitive contracts from the Office of Naval Research, the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Los Alamos National Laboratory to support technical studies and key national security science and technology (S&T) programs. Years later, Strategic Analysis has grown with offices in Arlington, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Colorado Springs, Colorado. SA's core capabilities have also greatly expanded and diversified as new demands have been placed on the professional services industry and as the world environment has changed. SA's list of clients has grown substantially over the last twenty years, and yet the core values of providing the highest quality support to our customers, hiring and building relationships with good people to do great things, a focus on SA as an "extended family," and working to build a better community for everyone remain the same as they were twenty years ago.
