History

The SI was founded in 1972 in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, as part of GE Aerospace, when a team of 60 engineers began providing systems engineering and integration services to the Intelligence Community. The System Integrator construct was conceived by the US Government to help implement a very large, complex, and expensive space-based national security program. Due to the success of the construct, the SI grew throughout the 1980s and 1990s, as part of Martin Marietta and later Lockheed Martin, expanding into Northern Virginia and Maryland.{{cite web|url=http://www.thesiorg.com/who-we-are/legacy|title=Legacy {{!}} The SI Organization, Inc.|access-date=2013-01-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130109040208/http://www.thesiorg.com/who-we-are/legacy|archive-date=2013-01-09|url-status=live}} The SI was divested by Lockheed Martin in 2010 and acquired by private equity firm Veritas Capital.{{cite web|url=http://washingtontechnology.com/articles/2010/11/30/lockheed-eig-si-organization.aspx|title=Lockheed's EIG renamed The SI Organization -- Washington Technology|website=Washingtontechnology.com|date=30 November 2010 |access-date=27 January 2017}}
