Peerless Technologies has appointed defense and intelligence community veteran Brent Gerity as president of its newly acquired subsidiary QED Systems.
In a LinkedIn post on Tuesday, the company said Gerity will oversee QED’s next phase of growth while maintaining continuity in program execution, strengthening customer relationships and supporting integration efforts across the Peerless enterprise.
“Brent is the ideal leader to guide QED into the future,” said Andrea Kunk, CEO of Peerless Technologies.
“Our customers should expect the same reliability and delivery they count on today, while our teams will benefit from synergies and expanded opportunities across the enterprise,” she continued.
Commenting on his new role, Gerity said he plans to preserve QED’s customer trust and operational foundation while pursuing new growth pathways within QED and Peerless to deliver greater value to customers and warfighters.

Gerity most recently served as vice president at RealmOne. His previous leadership roles include director of program management at INNOPLEX, chief operating officer at WOOD Consulting Services, and vice president positions at Leidos and SAIC.
His appointment follows Peerless’ December acquisition of QED Systems, broadening the companies’ capabilities to support the U.S. Air Force, Army and Navy; NASA; and other federal clients.
What Is QED Systems?
QED provides systems engineering, program management, logistics operations, finance and budget services in support of the Army’s command, control, communications, computers, cyber intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance programs.
It also performs work supporting Navy ship repair, maintenance and modernization efforts. In 2025, prior to the acquisition, the company secured spots on a $2.65 billion contract for littoral combat ships services and a $1.9 billion contract supporting scheduled Chief of Naval Operations maintenance availabilities at four of the Navy’s public shipyards.
