Valkyrie Enterprises

What Valkyrie Enterprises does

Valkyrie Enterprises, LLC is a Virginia Beach-based, PE-owned (DC Capital Partners) defense technology and services contractor founded in 2007 by Gary Lisota. The company delivers engineering, modeling and simulation, maritime modernization, lifecycle support, and critical communications solutions primarily to the U.S. Department of Defense, NATO, and allied nations. Its portfolio includes the JTLS-GO simulation platform (deployed in 25 countries via subsidiary ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES), the ODIN competency management system with Generative AI-enabled VIGR maintenance assistant and VALR micro-learning/recruitment module, the ADEPT digital engineering and prototyping center, value-added resale of maritime and radar products, and the S2S corrosion-prevention product line acquired in May 2024. Headcount stands at roughly 800 professionals across U.S. locations including Hampton Roads, Huntsville, Southern California, and the D.C. area, plus a Japanese presence.

The business operates on a government-contracting model, with revenue derived from negotiated multi-year federal contracts (professional services), hardware product sales and resale, and a growing portfolio of acquired product brands. Disclosed trailing 12-month unclassified prime contract revenue is $43.5 million as of early 2026, supplemented by a newly awarded five-year, $48 million Navy combat-systems contract at NSWCDD Dahlgren Division Dam Neck Activity. Strategic growth is driven by an acquisition-based roll-up under DC Capital (Hill Technical Solutions merger, Ship 2 Shore, Optical Sciences Corporation) and senior leadership additions, including new CEO Josh Jackson in February 2026.

Customer concentration is high: the U.S. Navy remains the anchor buyer, with international and commercial channels (NATO, Ukraine, INDOPACOM, commercial maritime) still secondary. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales into federal and allied defense procurement, and the competitive moat rests on proprietary simulation software (JTLS-GO), regulatory certifications (ISO 9001:2015, MIL-PRF 16173E, ABS), deep integration into Navy combat-systems engineering, and a cleared, technically specialized workforce recognized by consecutive USA Today Top Workplace awards (2024-2026).

Direct peers

• SAIC: SAIC is a direct peer offering defense IT, systems engineering, and simulation services to the DoD/Navy, and is the former employer of Valkyrie's new CEO Josh Jackson. The overlap in combat systems engineering, training, and Navy IT services makes it the closest comparable mid-tier defense services prime.
• Parsons Corporation: Parsons is a direct peer in defense and intelligence services with deep Navy engineering, missile defense, and systems integration work. Both companies serve as mid-tier primes competing for DoD engineering and test/evaluation contracts.
• CACI International: CACI is a direct peer providing IT, engineering, and intelligence services to the DoD across combat systems, C5ISR, and simulation. Its mid-tier government services focus, IDIQ-heavy contract model, and Navy presence directly mirror Valkyrie's competitive positioning.
• Applied Research Associates: Applied Research Associates is a direct peer in defense modeling and simulation, with comparable engineering and mission rehearsal capabilities. Both firms operate in the constructive simulation space and compete for defense R&D and training contracts.
• CAE: CAE is a direct peer in defense modeling, simulation, and training, and is explicitly Valkyrie's partner in the GlobalSim federation (combining CAE's GESI with JTLS-GO). The partnership signals comparable product positioning in NATO training markets.
• ManTech (now Constellis/ManTech): ManTech is a direct peer in mission-focused defense IT, intelligence, and systems engineering services to federal customers. It has comparable Navy and intelligence community work and is a frequent recompete competitor in Valkyrie's addressable market.

Broad incumbents

• Booz Allen Hamilton: Booz Allen Hamilton is a broad incumbent federal services prime offering defense engineering, AI/analytics, and consulting across the DoD. It is a frequent competitor on large Navy and joint programs and shares key leadership alumni with Valkyrie (new VP of Operations previously at Booz Allen).
• Huntington Ingalls Industries: Huntington Ingalls Industries is a broad incumbent in U.S. Navy shipbuilding, fleet sustainment, and maritime modernization. Its Ingalls Shipbuilding and Newport News divisions compete with Valkyrie in the Navy fleet services and lifecycle support space.
• L3Harris Technologies: L3Harris is a broad incumbent defense prime covering C5ISR, maritime electronics, and simulation/training systems. It competes for naval modernization, communications, and maritime product contracts that overlap with Valkyrie's portfolio.
