About ATS
Four decades of engineering mission readiness
Founded in 1980, Applied Technical Systems delivers full-lifecycle software and systems engineering to the U.S. Department of War — the disciplined work that keeps critical platforms operational when it matters most.
Our engineers pair hands-on IT and software experience with deep systems and intelligence expertise. That combination lets us reduce cost, mitigate risk, and sustain readiness across the entire weapon-system lifecycle — from acquisition and integration through maintenance, modernization, and disposal.
From primary offices in Dahlgren, Virginia and Panama City, Florida, ATS supports Department of War programs where precision, security, and accountability are not optional.
