Technology Service Corporation (TSC) is an American engineering company headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, providing services and specialized products to the U.S. government agencies and private industry.[2]

History[edit]

In 1966, Technology Service Corporation was founded in Santa Monica, California by Peter Swerling.[4] The firm made an IPO in 1983, and then was acquired by Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1985.[6] Spun off from Westinghouse, it became an employee-owned company in 1993.[4]

Current business[edit]

TSC's current customers include the U.S. Department of Defense, the Federal Aviation Administration, international civil aviation agencies, and radar system suppliers.[2] The company's sensor systems include primary and secondary radars and weather radars; it engages in prototype development, circuit board manufacture, geographic information systems, and computer applications for simulation and radar siting; it also produces microwave test equipment.[2] TSC provides consulting engineering services in modeling and testing, systems engineering, and procurement and deployment.[2]

Estimated current annual revenue is US$37.2 million; the company has approximately 400 employees.[3]

In partnership with the Air Force Research Laboratory, Technology Service Corporation developed the Sea Dragon system, a tracking system to document illegal maritime fishing. The system uses synthetic aperture radar and video imaging mounted on inexpensive commercial aircraft such as the Cessna 337.[7]

In 2008, the company's then-CFO, Michael Syracuse, received a Washington Business Journal Award for Financial Excellence in the Government Contracting (Less than $500 Million) category; the award recognizes "competent, confident and ethical financial professionals" who have done exceptional work in their field.[8]

In 2018, Brandon Wolfson was named President and CEO.[5]

Locations[edit]

The company is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia;[1] it was previously located in Silver Spring, Maryland.[2][9] As of 2014, additional locations included three offices in the Washington metropolitan area; two offices elsewhere in Virginia; Huntsville, Alabama; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Los Angeles, California; Scottsdale, Arizona; Trumbull, Connecticut; and Bloomington, Indiana.[10] The facility in Dahlgren, Virginia, supporting contracting for the Naval Surface Warfare Center and the Missile Defense Agency, was recently expanded.[11]

Peter Swerling award[edit]

TSC recognizes its founder by granting the Peter Swerling Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence to select employees who have made significant contributions to the growth and success of the company.[12]
