Modern Technology Solutions Inc. has won a position on the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Contract Operations for Missile Evaluation and Testing, or COMET, vehicle to support DIA’s Missile & Space Intelligence Center, or MSIC.
Foreign weapon systems continue to grow more sophisticated, driving demand for deeper technical intelligence analysis across the defense and intelligence communities. The Potomac Officers Club’s 2026 Intel Summit on Sept. 24 will bring together senior intelligence officials and industry executives to discuss agentic AI, open-source intelligence and AI and quantum risk in national security missions. Save your spot now to explore the technologies shaping the intelligence community’s future.
What Support Will MTSI Provide Under the COMET Contract?
Under COMET, MTSI said Wednesday it will support MSIC in delivering foundational military intelligence and scientific and technical intelligence on foreign weapon systems for DIA, the Department of War and national-level intelligence organizations.
MTSI said the placement reinforces its commitment to advancing national defense capabilities through this work.
What Did MTSI Officials Say About the Award?
MTSI President and CEO Kevin Robinson thanked MSIC for the opportunity to expand the partnership through the COMET contract.
“This work strengthens our nation’s ability to understand and counter foreign weapon threats. MTSI brings the advanced technical expertise and integrity this mission demands,” Robinson added.
Sheree Gray, MTSI program director, said the team is ready to bring fresh analytical approaches to the MSIC mission.
“The MTSI team feels energized and fully committed to MSIC to deliver innovative, mission advancing capabilities for this critical effort,” Gray stated. “I’m especially excited to work once again alongside the MSIC team, apply cutting edge analysis techniques, and bring forward advanced solutions to the hardest problems so we can provide the highest quality, highest fidelity analysis to decision makers, acquisition customers, and—most importantly—the warfighter.”
What Is the Scope of the COMET Program?
In March, DIA issued a request for proposals for the potential $14 billion COMET vehicle, under which the agency would award multiple indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts with up to 10 years of performance for the required services in support of MSIC, which provides policymakers, homeland security and intelligence community organizations, weapons developers, and warfighters with intelligence assessments of foreign weapon systems.
The COMET program spans five mission task areas: foundational and technical intelligence analysis, foreign materiel exploitation, information technology operations, modeling and simulation, and business processes.
What Recent Contract Wins & Leadership Changes Has MTSI Seen?
The COMET award follows a series of developments that point to MTSI’s continued growth across the government contracting space.
On the leadership front, the company brought on Rich Fisne as vice president of contracts and procurement, a move that came just a week after Ashutosh Gokhale joined as executive vice president and chief financial officer.
MTSI has also continued to expand its footprint in the defense and space domains. The company landed a potential $416 million DISA contract for technology integration support to the Air Force Global Strike Command and secured a $111 million modification to its Space Systems Command contract for space-based interceptor support, bringing that effort’s total value to $226.9 million.
The company has backed this growth with physical expansion as well, relocating to a new corporate headquarters at Metro Park in Alexandria, Virginia, and completing a facility expansion in Dayton, Ohio, to support its growing presence near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
In a related development, Joe Imwalle, vice president for national security, discussed acquisition reform and the company’s progress on the Space Force’s Digital Bloodhound program in a recent Executive Spotlight interview with ExecutiveBiz.
