Dear friends,

Step into the heart of POECOM, where our dedication to making a difference shines brighter than ever. Our mission is simple yet profound: we want individuals to survive and return home safely on the darkest days. That’s our purpose, and it fuels our passion at TEDGAR and MAELDAF Consulting.

Allow me to introduce myself and our two consulting organizations. After dedicating 30 years of my life to the USAF and reaching the rank of Chief Master Sergeant, I retired in 2013. It was at that moment that TEDGAR Consulting LLC began its journey. In February 2021, we expanded our reach across the pond, establishing MAELDAF Consulting LTD in the UK. TEDGAR and MAELDAF are organizations deeply rooted in supporting the defense industry, specializing in survival and rescue-related equipment and programs.

Our clients, the workhorses of the defense industry, tirelessly develop military-related survival and rescue products that save lives. We take immense pride in being part of this unique and highly specialized community.

TEDGAR and MAELDAF bring together a global team of six dedicated consultants boasting over 225 years of experience in Aircrew Life Support and Aircrew Flight Equipment. Our passion lies in helping organizations like yours become more robust and efficient. Our approach is simple: we learn the process, listen to your team or individuals, and, most importantly, clarify the “Why.” You could say we help connect “Why’s.”

Our core approach is identifying obstacles and fostering open discussions about the issues hindering progress. We don’t play the blame game or make excuses. Instead, we roll our sleeves up, provide solutions, and help individuals or teams exceed their goals.

We deeply understand the critical need for new equipment that’s lighter, more efficient, and easier to work with. Transparency regarding the issues and needs of both the client and the end-users is fundamental to our process.

Our mission is clear: ensuring the right product is in the right place at the right time. We partner with industry leaders in developing life-saving military-related survival and rescue products, driving technological advancements and thought leadership.

We’ll share our mission, core competencies, and thoughts on various topics in the coming months. From a TEDGAR perspective, one of our most important values is TEAMWORK. We firmly believe in the power of collaboration, where each team member’s strengths complement one another.

As you explore this site, you’ll notice that our team has started putting pen to paper, sharing their thoughts on important issues. Over the following months, we’ll publish articles, posts, and video blogs to engage in meaningful discussions within our field. We aim to create an open and respectful space to share the wisdom of the past and explore future possibilities.

So, here you have it – a glimpse into who we are at TEDGAR and MAELDAF. We’re not just about consulting; we’re about leveraging our competencies to make a meaningful impact. Our roadmap is clear: to help our clients increase their competitive advantage by delivering business solutions that meet and exceed the needs of military users.

With TEDGAR by your side, you’ll have access to a team of experts dedicated to removing obstacles and helping you achieve your goals through impactful B2B collaborations.

We invite you to explore our blog, where we’ll delve deeper into our competencies, share insights, and create a discussion platform. Feel free to leave comments sharing your thoughts and ideas. At TEDGAR and MAELDAF, we thrive on collaboration, and your input is invaluable to us. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we can achieve great things.

Sincerely,

Ted
TEDGAR and MAELDAF Consulting Team
