Chantilly’s VTG makes sixth acquisition of 2025

Chantilly engineering firm and government contractor VTG announced Tuesday that it has acquired Fairfax tech company Miklos Systems Inc., its sixth acquisition this year.

The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, and VTG did not immediately return requests for comment.

Founded in 1993, MSI is known for delivering full software lifecycle development, cloud services, cybersecurity, data science and systems engineering to intelligence community programs. VTG says that MSI’s workforce will bring “deep technical expertise” to the company.

In a statement, VTG President and CEO John Hassoun said the acquisition was “another strategic milestone in our growth journey.” MSI has been 100% employee-owned since 2015, and its culture supports practices like open-book management and consensus-driven decision-making

“Their collaborative spirit and commitment to mission success make them an ideal fit for VTG,” he said. “Together, we will accelerate innovation, strengthen our partnerships, and deliver transformative outcomes for our customers across the intelligence community.”

VTG did not specify what will happen to MSI’s leadership or how many employees will be joining VTG. It is also unknown what will become of the company’s employee-owned status.

However, MSI President Roland Burdett, in a statement, said, “All of the employee-owners of MSI are excited about the acquisition. We are looking forward to joining VTG, and working together on future opportunities.”

VTG said the acquisition reflects its shared vision with its majority investor, Connecticut-based private equity firm A&M Capital Partners, to deepen its technical capabilities and scale.

The firm has also this year acquired Loki Solutions, Triaplex, Byte Systems, iota IT, and Tunuva Technologies.

Headquartered in Chantilly, and with company roots dating back to 1866, VTG provides engineering services for naval, aerospace, network and digital systems. It performs work in 40 U.S. states and more than 20 countries and has over 1,600 employees.
