What D3 Air & Space Operations does

D3 Air & Space Operations, Inc. (D3ASO) is a federally certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) founded September 11, 2006 and headquartered at 6225 A1A S., Unit A, St. Augustine, Florida, with staff locations throughout the continental United States. The company operates as a professional services firm organized into six service lines — Aviation Operations (manned/unmanned, operations and maintenance), Training & Simulation (instruction, standardization, evaluation across classroom/simulator/aircraft/field), Cyber Operations and Information Technology (project management, IT staffing, application development, network engineering, enterprise security delivered by PMP/CISSP/CISA-credentialed staff), Intelligence & Reconnaissance (ISR support including mission planners and information/cyber security professionals), and Logistics Management (supply chain, life cycle management, and deployment support). Core customers are federal defense buyers — primarily the United States Air Force including the Secretary of the Air Force (SAF), Headquarters Air Force (HAF), Air Combat Command (ACC), and specific wings such as the 9th Reconnaissance Wing, 116th Air Control Wing, 432nd Wing, 94th Airlift Wing, 437th Airlift Wing, USAF Weapons School, and the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex — alongside state-government work led by the Florida Department of Management Services' MyFloridaNetwork-2 (MFN-2) conversion and ISR work for the State of Maryland. The company also provides IT services to primes including SAIC and Booz Allen Hamilton, indicating a subcontractor posture on classified and complex federal programs as well as direct-prime delivery.

Revenue mechanics are built on a multi-vehicle contract footprint rather than a single award: D3 holds prime positions on GSA OASIS+ (with Management & Advisory and Intelligence Services domain coverage under SDVOSB/Total Small Business tracks), GSA OASIS (Contract 47QRAD20D1004, including classified CONUS/OCONUS work), GSA ASTRO (Contract 47QFCA22D0481, with membership in the ASTRO Training Pool), GSA MAS, FAA eFAST, USSOCOM Knowledge Based Services (SCS), and the Florida DMS state contract vehicle. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales into federal and state agencies, with marketing essentially limited to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and the company's own website, and pricing is not publicly disclosed — consistent with standard IDIQ/labor-rate professional services models. The firm is privately held by its three founders (Michael Doughty as President and CEO, Sean Doughty as Vice President and CFO, and Thomas Doughty as Director of State Programs), with Steve Mangum serving as COO and Director of Federal Programs, and the leadership bench reflects deep Air Force operational and IT experience that underwrites the company's positioning on no-fail defense and state missions.
