A-T Solutions, Inc. Hires Former Anteon Veteran as COO  

Dennis J. Kelly, Jr. Joins Firm to Manage Rapid Growth

21:32 GMT, May 20, 2008 FREDERICKSBURG, Va. | A-T Solutions, a Fredericksburg, Virginia based company that provides anti/counter- terrorism solutions for the detection, identification, defeat and forensic analysis of improvised explosive devices (IED) and weapons of mass destruction (WMD), announced today that Dennis J. Kelly, Jr. has joined the firm as its first Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Kelly, a twenty-year veteran of the federal services contracting arena, will provide operational leadership across all facets of A-T Solutions.

Previously in his career, Mr. Kelly served as senior vice president of Anteon International Corporation, a $1.7 billion information technology and integration services firm serving the government sector. In that role, he handled P&L management, business development and government affairs. Most recently, Mr. Kelly served as president of TechTeam Government Solutions, Inc., a $80 million wholly-owned subsidiary of TechTeam Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEAM). As the organization’s strategic leader, he delivered robust organic growth and identified and executed numerous mergers and acquisitions, managing their integration with TechTeam’s existing operations.

“The creation of the COO position and the addition of Dennis to our senior management team is essential to the successful delivery of services to our customers during this sustained period of rapid growth,” said Ken Falke, founder and CEO of A-T Solutions. “His depth of operational experience coupled with his strengths in managing very dynamic organizations with a focus on performance metrics will serve as a tremendous asset as we execute on the accelerating demand for our expertise from the defense, intelligence and law enforcement communities.”

A-T Solutions is the largest single supplier of IED-related training and analytical services to the U.S. Departments of Defense, State and Homeland Security. With approximately 200 subject matter experts and seasoned professionals, it is poised to grow to more than 300 employees by the end of the year. Earlier this year, A-T Solutions was acquired by CoVant, an investment partnership founded by former top executives of Anteon International and CI Capital Partners, a New York-based private investment group.

“I am delighted to join the A-T Solutions team and my former colleagues at CoVant as we draw on our collective experience in the federal government contracting environment to manage the impressive growth of the company,” said Dennis J. Kelly. “With substantial revenue and staffing increases expected for 2008 and beyond, I look forward to working with everyone at A-T Solutions to continue the efficient delivery of highly effective IED and WMD training and consulting solutions that save American lives here and overseas.”

“I welcome my former Anteon colleague, Dennis, to this company whose extraordinary mission in supporting the warfighter grows in demand by the day,” said Joseph Kampf, Chairman of A-T Solutions and CEO of CoVant. “Dennis brings solid operational and management leadership to the table and will enable A-T Solutions to continue to be agile, responsive and successful.”

Mr. Kelly is a veteran of the U.S. Navy and holds an MBA from the University of Rhode Island.
