Global Technical Systems

Global Technical Systems (GTS) is an engineering and manufacturing company working to develop systems and solutions for defense, homeland security, and related government interests. The company works to develop these products and services with a modular, open-architecture design to make them easy to integrate. Founded in 1997 by CEO Terry Spitzer and President Yusun Spitzer, the company's headquarters are located at Virginia Beach, Virginia. The headquarters is at the Owl Creek Energy Building, a 500,000 square foot manufacturing and distribution facility.

The products and systems provided by and developed by GTS include combat systems processors; command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems; military combat systems hardware production; radar and sensor systems; avionics test sets; threat detection; biometric identification systems; composite materials for advanced munitions, armor, and energy.

GTS works to develop systems to support the operation of aircraft and the related avionics systems, including by developing automated test capable equipment and through the repair of aviation systems. One such system is the E-2C Hawkeye, which is a system for automated testing of automated interconnecting devices, adapter assemblies, cable assemblies, and aircraft accessory sets. Or the H-1 CASS, which is a type helicopter support equipment intended to provide automated testing capabilities for weapons replaceable assemblies used in the H-1 helicopter.

GTS has worked to design and develop open architecture and COTS based computer processing systems for surface combatants in cooperation with the United States Navy. These include the common processing system (CPS) developed for the Aegis weapons system and the related computer processing environment. And the COTS enclosure, which is a cabinet designed to house multiple computing and data storage facilities and capable of water- or air-cooling those systems. As well, the cabinet is customizable to meet various power requirements.

GTS has worked with the DoD, DHS, and CBP to develop equipment and services for C4ISR capabilities. These include border, maritime, and critical infrastructure for security product developments capable of integrated multiple generations of sensors to protect mission environments as necessary. GTS makes use of an open architecture, open interface system called Fusion Command, which provides true fusion of multi-sensor contacts, automatic alerts based on pre-designated contact pattern recognition, and an intuitive COP that integrates all sensor contact geo-location with Blue Force Tracking (BFT) and shared Situational Awareness (SA).

Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSFC) is an NSA-sponsored program that allows commercial components to be utilized for the protection of classified National Security Systems information. GTS designs a CSFC product called NXGEN, and can build an architecture that can support specific security requirements for specific Government customers in a clearly defined and approved manner.

GTS has a scientific and engineering staff focused on research and development of advanced technology concepts. Their capabilities include R&D activities and product developments that span mid to late TRL technologies for the DoD, DHS and other government interests. GTS's areas of development include radar, explosive threat detection, biometric identification systems, robotics, shock and blast mitigation, composite technologies for armor, munitions and energy storage.

In April of 2020, GTS was awarded a $782 million contract from the Naval Sea Systems Command for the development and production of Network, Processing and Storage Technical equipment.
