Our philosophy
At Azimuth Innovations, our name is more than just words...
it's a reflection of our core philosophy and approach to business and innovation. In navigation and astronomy, the azimuth is an angular measurement that provides precise direction. For us, it represents our role as a guiding force in the complex landscape of technology and defense R&D.
The concept of azimuth resonates deeply with our mission. Just as the azimuth changes based on the observer's position, we recognize the importance of perspective in problem-solving. We approach challenges from multiple angles, considering diverse viewpoints to arrive at comprehensive solutions. This adaptability is crucial in our field, where the landscape is constantly shifting, requiring us to recalculate and adjust our strategies continually.
Precision is at the heart of what we do. In the world of defense R&D, accuracy can be a matter of national security. Our commitment to exactitude mirrors the precision required in calculating the azimuth. But we don't just focus on technical accuracy – we also view the azimuth as a symbol of our ethical compass, ensuring that our innovations always align with our values and societal responsibilities.

About Azimuth
Azimuth Innovations was founded by Scott Hourin, leveraging over 25 years of experience in defense R&D and product development. Our roots run deep in the defense community, built on Scott's multifaceted career as a Marine Corps Officer, government civilian supporting DoD labs, and in the private sector with all of these being focused on bringing cutting edge capabilities to the Warfighter, be they trigger pullers, box kickers, or administrators; to us, all Warfighters are equally critical in accomplishing the mission.
We've spent decades building a robust network across the defense R&D landscape. This includes connections with small businesses pushing the boundaries of innovation, government agencies seeking cutting-edge solutions, academic institutions eager to transfer IP, and investors looking to make a meaningful impact in national security. Our experience spans the full spectrum of defense technology development - from navigating SBIR contracts to managing multi-million dollar R&D programs and transitioning capabilities to warfighters.
At Azimuth, we use our deep experience and established relationships to guide clients through the complexities of defense R&D funding, capability productization, and programmatic transition. Our goal is to empower innovative small businesses, inform strategic investments, and ultimately ensure our warfighters have access to the most advanced technologies. With Azimuth as your partner, you're not just getting a consultant - you're tapping into a wealth of defense innovation expertise and a network built over a lifetime of service.
