Michael Kelly, a seasoned homeland security professional who recently moved from the Battelle Memorial Institute to TASC will join the Government Technology & Services Coalition for an assessment of the homeland security environment, a look at strategy for the next five years and how his company has successfully navigated the homeland security and defense markets.

Established in Winchester, MA, The Analytic Sciences Corporation (TASC) began serving the US government with modeling, simulation, analysis, and evaluation of integrated navigation and guidance systems. Earliest programs included the Trident Submarine, Minuteman Missile and the Space Shuttle in 1966. Since then, TASC has evolved and acquired several companies, eventually being acquired by Northrop Grumman Corporation Information Technology Sector. Northrop Grumman integrates its Information Technology and Mission Systems sectors. All Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance and advisory services related work was moved into the TASC subsidiary and development project to other units.

The Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act (WSARA) of 2009 becomes law to prevent the occurrence of conflicts created when a contractor is used for both advisory support services and the development on a major defense acquisition program. Northrop Grumman had both development and advisory services programs so on December 19, Northrop Grumman sells TASC, Inc., its advisory services business, for $1.65 billion to an investor group led by General Atlantic LLC and affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
