                                CONSENT OF INPUT


         We hereby consent to the use of the following information derived from
"Federal Information Systems and Services Market, FY2002-FY2007," an INPUT
report, and to all references to us included in or made part of DigitalNet
Holdings, Inc.'s Registration Statement on Form S-1 and any related prospectus:

                  According to INPUT, an independent federal government market
                  research firm, the federal information technology market is
                  expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 11.3%
                  from $37.1 billion in federal fiscal year 2002 to $63.3
                  billion in federal fiscal year 2007.

                  According to INPUT, the Department of Defense's spending on
                  information technology services and solutions is expected to
                  increase from $17.8 billion in federal fiscal year 2002 to
                  $29.6 billion in federal fiscal year 2007.

                  Furthermore, according to INPUT, federal government spending
                  on outsourced information technology services is expected to
                  grow from $6.4 billion in federal fiscal year 2002 to $14.5
                  billion in federal fiscal year 2007, a compound annual growth
                  rate of 17.6%.

                  For example, the reform of the GSA Multiple Award Schedule in
                  1998 allowed agencies to take advantage of ordering services
                  through pre-approved vendors and as a result, according to
                  INPUT, the federal sales cycle has declined approximately 29%
                  from federal fiscal year 1998 to federal fiscal year 2001.

                  According to INPUT, federal government spending on network
                  services and network management is expected to grow at a
                  compound annual growth rate of 12.1% from $2.2 billion in
                  federal fiscal year 2002 to $3.9 billion in federal fiscal
                  year 2007.
