Overview

ANSER, whose legal name is Analytic Services, is a not-for-profit research and analysis organisation based in Falls Church, Virginia, supporting US national and homeland security agencies with independent analysis. Established in 1958 for public service rather than profit, it works for defense clients such as the office of the Department of War Chief Information Officer, with most staff on site in secure facilities around Washington, DC. It hires military operations, deception and information planners, systems and test engineers, computer scientists, cybersecurity specialists, financial and budget analysts, policy analysts and technical writers.
