IB in D.C. Aerospace and Defense

Title is pretty self explanatory, I'm posting since there's hardly anything on this niche group/region.I currently work at a no name regional boutique bank that does a solid coverage in A&D. We have strong deal flow but obviously at a much smaller size.I know Houlihan Lokey has good coverage in DC but I was wondering if anyone knew of some other firms that are active in that area.I want to move to DC for the city itself being my personal favorite and to work in this coverage group as I find it the most exciting. I've worked previous internships in aviation and government and want to focus on this coverage group long term. Anyone with some knowledge on DC groups or recommendations to help someone jump in the space (pun intended) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
