Inside Business and Cherry Bekaert LLP announce Global Technical Systems (GTS) as one of the winners of this year’s Roaring 20 awards program, honoring 20 of Hampton Roads’ most dynamic businesses!
PRESS RELEASE
December 14, 2020
By Carrie White
Inside Business
Dec 14, 2020 at 5:40 AM
Founded: 1997
Business type: Military contractor
Based: Virginia Beach
Website: gts.us.com
Employees: about 150
Revenue: $100 million in 2020
Terry Spitzer, CEO of Global Technical Systems, describes his company as being on the “the pointy edge of the sword (providing) bleeding-edge technology —meaning that we’re so leading edge, it’s painful.”
For example, he said, when GTS started production on a kinetic energy storage device, the only researchers were at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. “So, we went and hired all their scientists.”
GTS doesn’t have employees, Spitzer said. “We are very selective. We have 150 experts. Everyone we hire is a subject-matter expert.”
Spitzer, who served as a Navy electrical technician, began the company to provide engineering services to fix issues on the AEGIS combat system. He quickly learned that “the better way is to work towards production. Ninety percent of our company is production. In the Pentagon, I saw all the holes in the production and technological process. Most companies take 20-30 years to fill those holes. We take 18-24 months.”
Vice-President of Strategic Development Ben Davenport expanded GTS’s research and development focus on four major areas: “Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR); border-security surveillance systems; advanced munitions, including composite missiles, rocket motors and warheads; and kinetic energy storage devices for High Energy Weapons Systems and commercial electrical-grid storage.”
The culture at GTS is based upon Spitzer’s patriotism: “GTS’s mission is directed towards excellence. ... If we are asking these people to die for our country, then it’s our job to provide them with the best equipment possible. ... Also, it’s not practical for our country to rely solely on the Chinese for computer hardware. Not having this capability is a threat to our national security.”
Spitzer is proud that GTS makes every part of its products. “We develop American-made micro-servers that are superior to anything on the market.”
Micro-servers, Davenport said, are “the brains of computers, found in almost every device we use today.” Spitzer continued, “We develop them better and more securely than anyone can in, say, China, which is where the most microelectronics are produced.”
GTS has just moved into its new 630,000-square-foot production facility because of the demand for its products. Spitzer predicts expects GTS to triple its revenue in 2021 to $300 million and grow to 1100 employees — or experts — in the near future.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., September 7, 2016
Global
Technical Systems (GTS), headquartered in Virginia Beach, VA., has been
granted status as a National Security Agency (NSA) Trusted Integrator
for Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Programs.
NSA's
Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Program has been established
to enable commercial products to be used in layered solutions protecting
classified National Security Systems (NSS) data. The criteria and

baseline for CSfC solution integrators, enabling NSA, AOs/Designated
Approving Authorities (DAAs) to assess the capabilities of solution
integrators and accept their results.
This provides Government
agencies the ability to securely communicate based on commercial
standards in a solution that can be deployed to the field in the matter
of months rather than years.
Using the NSA defined criteria and
processes, GTS can create an architecture in a clearly defined and
approved manner to support the specific Government customer's security
requirements. According to GTS CEO Terry Spitzer, 'This certification
represents a significant achievement as we build the GTS CSfC Program
practice as a natural extension of our past experiences within the
defense, homeland security and intelligence communities.'
