With its headquarters in Northern Virginia and a major presence in Huntsville, Alabama, Aeyon provides a broad spectrum of technical solutions including cloud-based modernization, programmatic support, and major system implementations across the Space, Defense, and Civilian markets.
Founded in 2001, MTS is a provider of engineering & science, program & logistics, IT, and subject matter expertise solutions primarily to NASA and Department of Defense customers in Huntsville. As a NASA prime contractor, MTS has been recognized for engineering expertise in program planning, scheduling, and advisory support disciplines across NASA space centers nationwide.

“These two companies bring complementary capabilities to Aeyon and bolster our position as a leading provider of innovative solutions that improve and accelerate the decision-making abilities of our customers,” said Sunny Singh, Aeyon CEO. “I am thrilled to welcome the MTS and Marick teams to the Aeyon family.
