How we can help

As defence manufacturing startups attempt to enter the market, they face intense competition and complex government procurement processes. TELOS teams work intimately with defence clients, giving them unparalleled insight to end-user needs and requirements. Let our access to the end-user become your competitive advantage.

Our defence engagements are built upon capability development and training delivery. As part of these engagements, TELOS experts search for new products and technologies that show promise in solving our defence clients' problems. Once discovered, these products are introduced to the end-user as part of our engagement, allowing them to experience first-hand how our client's product solves their challenges within realistic simulations. Our service helps clients get their product into the hands of their future clients sooner, and provides them with the end-user data needed to shape product development, shape future RFPs, and gain a competitive advantage.

With TELOS, you get:
