Booz Allen Hamilton announced Monday it will acquire defense technology business Ultra Mission Solutions for $720 million.

According to Booz Allen Hamilton's press release, Ultra Mission Solutions specializes in software, encryption and edge-compute products that help warfighters integrate and secure data at the tactical edge.

Ultra Mission Solutions’ systems, such as Apex, ADSI, ACTS, Rain and Knox, combine command and control, encryption and secure data movement to operate in contested and disconnected environments. The company’s solutions will integrate with Booz Allen’s platform and help expand Booz Allen’s edge infrastructure solutions, including the Modular Detachment Kit, EdgeXtend and Sit(x), the release states.

“Technological superiority is essential to U.S. national security, and maintaining our advantage requires a relentless focus on speed and outcomes,” said Horacio Rozanski, chairman and CEO of Booz Allen. “Booz Allen is strategically investing to accelerate delivery of our defense tech products into national security missions. Now, by integrating Ultra Mission Solutions into our robust portfolio, we are further strengthening our ability to rapidly build and field the commercial products that will keep America ahead.”

According to the release, the acquisition will result in more commercial solutions available through outcomes-based procurement and foreign military sales. When the transaction is closed, which is expected in the second quarter of Booz Allen’s fiscal year 2027, Ultra Mission Solutions will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Booz Allen.

“Our customers operate where failure isn't an option, and meeting that standard has always defined our work,” said Mladen Brkic, president of Ultra Mission Solutions. “As part of Booz Allen, we'll bring greater scale and investment to our employees, products and the critical technologies customers rely on in the most contested conditions and wherever the mission demands it.”

Booz Allen expects the acquisition to increase revenue at a “double-digit rate for the next several years with EBITDA margins well above 20%,” according to the release.
