Booz Allen Hamilton has acquired PAR Government Systems Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of PAR Technology Corp.
This deal combines PGSC’s edge technologies with Booz Allen’s mission expertise and digital battlespace solutions to accelerate warfighter technology on the front lines, the company said. The subsidiary will integrate into Booz Allen’s global defense business led by Sector President Judi Dotson.
“With increasing threats to joint all domain operations and heightened geopolitical uncertainty, securing the nation’s future against the pacing threat requires industry to invest and innovate in new ways,” Dotson said. “This acquisition reinforces Booz Allen’s commitment to help accelerate the modernization of tactical warfighting mission systems and secure the future.”
PGSC was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in Rome, New York. The company delivers differentiated services and solutions in strategic mission areas, including the provision of real-time communications and mobile situational awareness to maintain battlespace dominance.
PGSC’s Integrated Tactical Solutions, Innovative and Commercial Solutions and Intelligence and Readiness Operations businesses innovate and develop technology-driven solutions for government customers.
“Booz Allen and PGSC share a deep commitment to addressing the evolving and systemic threats the nation faces with technology and solutions that drive greater mission outcomes,” said Michael Nelson, president at PGSC. “We look forward to applying our combined solutions for greater and broader impact on missions that matter, and infusing our analytical development with increased resources, tools, team members, and industry-level best practices to empower the nation’s warfighters and meet these next-gen warfare demands.”
The acquisition strengthens Booz Allen’s ability to meet the changing needs of defense clients, and adds highly technical and cleared talent to its global defense talent base. PGSC’s capabilities also complement Booz Allen’s space data solutions.
PGSC’s workforce, innovative capabilities and products, and dedicated client commitment, combined with Booz Allen’s software development capabilities, talent and deep mission expertise, will expand solutions that address urgent national security priorities and geopolitical challenges, the company said. These include tools to deliver advanced geospatial mapping, counter uncrewed aerial systems, improve situational awareness and support proliferated low earth orbit space data solutions.
