Integrity Defense Solutions

What Integrity Defense Solutions does

Integrity Defense Solutions (IDS) is a privately held Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Newport News, Virginia, that provides defense, technology, and engineering consulting services to U.S. Department of Defense components and federal defense agencies. Its customers span the Missile Defense Agency, the DoD Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO), the U.S. Air Force (including Air Force Research Laboratory), and eleven named Combatant Commands including INDOPACOM, CENTCOM, SOCOM, SPACECOM, USARPAC, AFRICOM, EUCOM, TRANSCOM, and U.S. Forces Korea. Over 80% of the IDS workforce is composed of military veterans from every branch of the armed forces, and the C-suite includes former Air Force aviators, a former U.S. Navy pilot and acquisition officer, and senior leaders from Northrop Grumman, Cubic, Lincoln Laboratory, and Defense Acquisition University.

The company's core technology stack centers on AESOP, a proprietary generative AI/LLM framework for defense decision-making that is LLM-agnostic, uses a bullpen of specialized AI agents, RAG and content management, and human-in-the-loop oversight; it generates Courses of Action, MDMP military plans, NEO planning, logistics plans, and emergency response documents from real-world DoD operational exercises. Adjacent capabilities include Command and Control systems built on Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), mission systems integration across air/land/sea/cyber/space domains, secure tactical communications including Link 16, iSMART, BACN deployment, and the Obsidian Shield defensive systems solution. IDS leads the Global Information Dominance Experiments (GIDE) for the CDAO and holds a strategic partnership with Google Public Sector to deliver frontier AI to Department of War customers.

IDS generates revenue through government professional services contracts accessed via prime contract vehicles, primarily the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (47QRAA26D005S, base period April 2026–April 2031, ~$60M estimated five-year value) and the $151B ceiling MDA SHIELD IDIQ, with additional distribution through CDAO's Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace and the IDK-JV mentor-protégé joint venture with KIHOMAC. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated via contract vehicle rates; revenue mechanics combine direct enterprise field sales to federal agencies with subcontractor and joint-venture channels. The company is founder-led (CEO John Pritchard) with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or institutional investment ownership.
