OUR STORY

Policy didn’t move
programs, so we built
a company that does.

After two decades in defense trade, DTS founder and President Steven Casazza realized the issue with exports wasn’t policy—it was execution.

Steve saw the same roadblocks everywhere—lagging approvals, policies that didn’t translate to action and critical technologies waiting on the wrong side of a proviso.

The work demanded a new kind of partner—one that could bridge compliance and execution to keep programs moving at the speed of business.

What began as a push to make defense trade work smarter became a blueprint for modern collaboration—secure, responsible, and without delay.

That blueprint is Defense Trade Solutions.
