SPA Culture and Community
When SPA Fellow and retired Navy Captain Bill Hoeft walks into the office with a playful Labrador puppy at his heels, he’s not just making coworkers smile—he’s helping shape the future for a veteran or first responder in need.
As spring arrives and Washington, DC area begins to green up, the GoGreen Employee Resource Group (ERG) of Systems Planning & Analysis (SPA) is already in motion—building momentum for a more sustainable workplace, a healthier planet, and a stronger connection with the communities we serve.
Duty, integrity, excellence, and service before self—these are the hallmarks of the United States military. They are also the same values that define Systems Planning & Analysis (SPA). Founded over 50 years ago, SPA has remained committed to supporting national security for the U.S. and its allies across all domains—land, sea, air, space, and cyber.
Ensuring the credibility and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear deterrent requires not only technical expertise and strategic foresight but also a commitment to developing the next generation of nuclear analysts. At Systems Planning and Analysis (SPA), this responsibility is embodied in the Nuclear Analyst Community of Interest (COI), founded and led by Tom Troyano, SPA’s Fellow for Nuclear Modernization.
Welcome to “Focus: SPA Perspectives,” our new blog which offers valuable insights, thought-provoking analyses, and expert perspectives on the complex and evolving landscape of national security.
