Founded in 1986 by Charles C. Watson, Jr., Watson Technical Consulting (WTC) is at the forefront of the application of advanced science and computer technology to practical problems.
In 2001, Watson Technical Consulting created a new company, Kinetic Analysis Corporation (KAC), to develop, manage and support commercial applications based on technology created by WTC. Based in Maryland, Kinetic Analysis Corporation specializes in estimating the impact of natural and man-made hazards on the built environment and the economy for clients in engineering, land development, and risk management. Examples include:

KAC clients include the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management and the Florida Commission on Hurricane Loss Prediction, Caribbean island states, international agencies such as the Organization of American States and the Caribbean Development Bank, news organizations and humanitarian aid agencies.
