Overview
Agile Defense is an American government technology services company that has grown rapidly through acquisition into a mid-tier federal contractor, backed by the private equity firm Enlightenment Capital. It provides digital transformation, cloud and infrastructure services, cyber operations, artificial intelligence and mission support to defence, intelligence and civilian agencies, largely through cleared staff embedded with government programme offices. Headquartered in McLean, Virginia, it competes in the segment between the very large primes and the small business set-aside contractors, where consolidation has been rapid.

Products
Mission Support
Operational and analytical staffing embedded with government units. It supplies capacity agencies cannot hire directly at the pace their programmes actually require, which is the whole reason contractors exist here.
agile-defense.com
AI and Data Services
Data platforms and applied machine learning inside accredited environments. Commercial models cannot simply be deployed into classified networks, which is the specific problem this practice addresses.
agile-defense.com
Cloud and Infrastructure
Design and operation of government cloud environments and networks. Accreditation rather than engineering is usually the longest part of these programmes, and knowing how to navigate it is the service being sold.
agile-defense.com
Cyber Operations
Defensive cyber, threat hunting and security engineering for government networks. Cleared personnel are the binding constraint on growth, since none of this work can be performed by anyone without clearance.
agile-defense.com
Digital Transformation
Modernisation of federal systems, applications and processes. Agencies hold an enormous legacy estate, and the pipeline for this work extends well beyond the life of any single current contract vehicle.
