Badenoch LLC is a Southfield based, Native American owned small business, now in its tenth year. Clients include DARPA, TARDEC, Office of Naval Research, the Defense Science Board, and a private investment group in energy. The major focus at Badenoch LLC is upon combat survivability, especially related to trauma of the brain. There are two ongoing projects in defense: • The Badenoch Vehicle Architecture (BVA) is a different way of protecting warfighters in a lightweight, highly mobile combat platform. • BEARS is a system for measuring and analyzing blast effects in combat to both soldiers and vehicles. Badenoch LLC operates under a new, experimental business model that employs a lean staff and a worldwide network of subject matter experts, universities, and suppliers. The talent pool includes some of the best resources in the world. The model allows seamless expansion and contraction to meet the unpredictable demands of the defense industry and avoids the risks that come with a long-term capital investment and the possibility of obsolescence in a market driven by leading edge thinking. Badenoch LLC is built to be lean, agile and fast to compliment the novel approach to science, invention and design. Early in his career, Mr. Badenoch worked for large companies including ITW, Raychem, AMG Mercedes, General Motors and Delphi. Badenoch has served on the faculty at Georgia Tech, and has been a lecturer at the Woodrow Wilson School of International Affairs at Princeton University.
