Summary

About

Ultra Mission Solutions is a defense technology business specializing in mission-critical software, encryption, and edge-compute products. Its core offerings – including Apex, ADSI®, ACTS™, Rain™, and Knox™ – unify command and control (C2), edge compute, secure data movement, and encryption into a modular architecture capable of operating in contested or disconnected environments. Ultra Mission Solutions is based in Austin, Texas.

Booz Allen’s acquisition of Ultra Mission Solutions illustrates the following themes in Defense, Space & Government M&A: (1) the accelerating adoption of commercial technology for national security and defense; (2) the importance of capabilities that enable decision dominance through secure, multi-domain sensing and data fusion; and (3) increasing prioritization of technologies that support the U.S. and international coalition partners.

For decades, global defense forces and allied partners have relied on Ultra I&C to outpace adversaries and cut through complexity in contested, high-threat environments. Ultra I&C powers decision speed across the multidomain battlespace, using mission optimization and encryption technologies to secure and make sense of data so operators at the edge get real-time, mission-ready intelligence—the clarity to act and the speed to win.
