AiDA Advisory is a founder-led engineering advisory firm. We help defense and enterprise organizations engineer, integrate, and decide with confidence, applying systems engineering, enterprise architecture, MBSE, and digital engineering to the programs where getting it right matters most.
Our founder, Steven Burkett, brings more than 30 years of engineering experience and 25 years supporting the Department of Defense on complex programs where requirements, architectures, test evidence, and sustainment must stay aligned across the full lifecycle. That work demands precision, traceability, and rigor, and AiDA brings the same discipline to every engagement.
AiDA is Steven's second defense company, built on lessons from founding and operating SL1, Inc., an SAIC Exclusive Partner on AMCOM Express. Those lessons shape how AiDA works today: senior people engaged directly, engineering judgment kept close to the decision, and value proven before it is scaled.
We are deliberately built to start focused: one problem worth solving, one accountable team, one measurable outcome. Relationships grow on demonstrated performance, not broad commitments. Every engagement respects the customer's security, contractual, and organizational boundaries.
