    Altamira Technologies Corp. has completed the acquisition of signals intelligence mission company Virginia Systems & Technology, Inc.

    “The acquisition of VaST brings new SIGINT capabilities and core National Security Customers to the Altamira portfolio,” said Jane Chappell, CEO of Altamira.

    VaST was founded in 1999 to provide “tip of the spear” SIGINT mission execution expertise. The company’s approach to implementing the SIGINT mission includes bridging the gap between operations and engineering with new capabilities.

    “VaST’s culture of marrying elite engineering with critical operations is a strong match with Altamira,” Chappell said. “We welcome them to the Altamira team.”

    The acquisition adds new capabilities to Altamira’s end‐to‐end SIGINT tasking, collection, processing, exploitation and dissemination; national/tactical SIGINT collaborative mission constellation management; and emerging threat identification.

    “VaST is very excited to be joining such a like‐minded company and looks forward to a combined opportunity to make larger and more impactful contributions to the defense of our nation” said Jay Hebert, president and CEO of VaST.

    The acquisition also adds talent in every SIGINT vertical to Altamira’s workforce, like software developers, data scientists, operations specialists, mission integrators and analysts.

    “We are excited about the combination of Altamira and VaST. Adding VaST’s capabilities to the Altamira platform should enable Altamira to grow faster with customers,” said Bernard Noble, managing director at ClearSky.

    Mintz served as legal adviser to Altamira. Holland & Knight served as legal adviser and KippsDeSanto & Co. served as financial adviser to VaST.
