Defense and national security interviews demand a unique set of skills. You're not just analyzing a business problem—you're assessing multi-dimensional risk across technical capability, supply chain resilience, geopolitical constraints, and budget realism. Interviewers at Palantir, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing evaluate your ability to think systemically about capability development, program governance, and strategic decision-making under uncertainty.
Generic case interview prep falls short. You need frameworks and thinking patterns that directly translate to how defense organizations approach strategy, program management, and risk assessment. That's what Defense Interview provides.
How it works
- Practice defense strategy cases modeled on real capability development challenges from Palantir, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing
- Get AI-powered feedback on your strategic thinking frameworks and risk decomposition
- Build skills across multi-dimensional reasoning domains—technical maturity assessment, supply chain resilience, geopolitical risk, budget strategy, and schedule risk management
- Track your progress across 20+ defense-specific competencies with adaptive difficulty
Why defense interviews need dedicated prep
A traditional case interview focuses on business metrics and market dynamics. A defense interview goes deeper: you're assessing strategic capability in contested environments where technical maturity windows, supply chain resilience, geopolitical constraints, and program governance are the real levers.
The AI coach pushes you to think in defense-specific ways: How do you structure multi-stakeholder alignment? How do you assess technical risk across a 18-month maturity gap? How do you balance budget contingency against overrun scenarios? These patterns don't come from generic frameworks—they come from deliberate practice in defense contexts.
