Forecast International Celebrates 50 Years of Defense Industry Forecasting

For five decades, Forecast International (FI) has done what was often seen as the impossible — take the guesswork out of defense and aerospace forecasting. Read on to learn more about Forecast International’s legacy.

The History of Forecast International 

FI was founded in 1973 by U.S. Air Force officer and WWII pilot Ed Nebinger. After retiring from the Air Force, Ed began a career working his way up in the aerospace and defense market intelligence industry. Pretty soon, Ed saw a need for reliable market forecasting and decided to use his knowledge and experience to branch out and create Forecast International, a company dedicated to helping people stay one step ahead of a seemingly unpredictable market.

From the very beginning, FI pioneered new methods of forecasting,  being the first company to provide 10-year forecasts for aerospace and defense industries. Soon, Forecast International grew to cover the bulk of the defense industry, including aerospace, power systems, and electronics. To this day, FI analysts compile and evaluate historical and current data to generate groundbreaking defense industry forecasting, earning widespread recognition as well as partnerships with key industry players.
