VT Group

What VT Group does

VTG (formerly VT Group) is a private national security solutions provider headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, delivering enterprise IT and engineering services to the U.S. Defense and Intelligence Community. The company specializes in modernization and digital transformation across naval, aerospace, network, and digital domains, with full-lifecycle capabilities spanning systems engineering, C5ISR modernization, digital/software solutions, AI/ML, and sustainment for naval warships, submarines, aircraft platforms, and intelligence systems. Its technical portfolio includes proprietary methodologies and platforms — epicAgile™, vKesi™, TurboKT™, vIOLA™, the Platform Integrated Control System (PICS), and the Critical Battery Management System — developed organically and through acquisitions, alongside the VTG Battle Lab MBSE environment.

VTG generates revenue almost exclusively as a prime contractor to U.S. federal agencies, primarily the Navy's systems commands (NAVSEA, NAVAIR, NAVWAR), the Intelligence Community, the Air Force, and other DoD entities. Contract vehicles include IDIQs, single-award contracts, and task orders; major prime positions include the $4.1 billion CANES Full Production Contract (April 2023), $2.45 billion Afloat C4ISR Installations Contract, $968 million Shore Global C4ISR Installation Contract, $130 million Warfare Systems Engineering contract, and $105 million Presidential Helicopters support contract. The Intelligence Community practice has scaled to over 35% of total business and roughly 500 employees under President Kirk Herdman.

The company traces its origins to 1866, operated as VT Group from 2002, divested non-core Healthcare and International Hospitality segments in October 2017, and rebranded from VT Group to VTG in July 2020 to consolidate under a single customer delivery model. John Hassoun has served as President and CEO since September 2017. VTG is owned by A&M Capital Partners following a September 2023 majority investment that succeeded The Jordan Company (which held the asset from 2012). Under A&M Capital ownership, VTG has executed an aggressive M&A program: NTA and DELTA Resources (2019), Intelligent Shift and ASSETT (2021), Next Rev Technologies (2022), Vana Solutions and Clear Cloud (2024), and Loki Solutions, Triaplex, the Byte Systems/iota IT/Tunuva bundle, and Miklos Systems (2025).
