Todd Harrison

I research and analyze trends in the overall defense budget, war funding, defense acquisitions, military personnel costs, and military readiness. I also teach a class on the defense budget at George Washington University’s Elliot School of International Affairs and a class on military space systems at Johns Hopkins University's School and Advanced International Studies. I joined CSBA from Booz Allen Hamilton, where I supported clients across the Department of Defense, assessing challenges to modernization initiatives and evaluating the performance of acquisition programs. I previously worked in the aerospace industry developing advanced space systems and technologies and served as a captain in the U.S. Air Force Reserves. I am a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with both a B.S. and an M.S. in Aeronautics and Astronautics.
