ManTech Awarded $11m 'A-Space Next' Contract from DIA

(FAIRFAX, Va., Aug. 12, 2009) -- ManTech International Corporation (Nasdaq:MANT) announced that it was awarded the follow-on effort for the Analytic Space (A-Space) program from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in the second quarter. A-Space, a common, collaborative workspace for Intelligence Community analysts, was developed by ManTech under a previous government contract. The new, competitively awarded prime contract is valued at $11 million with a base year and two option years and includes Jive Software, NavStar, and SAIC as teammates.

A-Space is a Director of National Intelligence and DIA initiative designed to give analysts secure access to large and diverse amounts of text, graphics, imagery and video intelligence spanning multiple classifications with appropriate controls. The application, which is similar to popular Web 2.0 social networking programs, now has over 10,000 users within the Intelligence Community (IC). Last year Time magazine named A-Space one of the top 50 most innovative products of the year.


A-Space helps analysts connect with data and each other - faster, easier and more efficiently. A-Space workspaces allow analysts to maintain situational awareness, consolidate relevant data and analytic notes on topics of interests, and share their insights and intuitions in a trusted environment.

"A-Space is significantly improving the quality and timeliness of analysis through access to relevant data and collaboration across the IC and DoD," said Larry Prior, President and Chief Operating Officer, ManTech International Corporation. "The ability to quickly identify experts across various disciplines and collaborate on topics of national interest is enabling Decision Superiority unlike ever before."

"ManTech recognizes the value of leveraging Web 2.0 technologies to enhance collaboration across the IC and DoD and will continue to apply new, innovative solutions to improve and expand A-Space," added Michael D. Kushin, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, ManTech International Corporation.
