QinetiQ Group’s U.S. arm has completed its purchase of Avantus Federal from NewSpring Holdings in a strategy to bring innovation in the field of software, hardware and mission services to defense, intelligence, homeland security, law enforcement and civilian agencies.
The $590 million deal was first announced in August and QinetiQ US said Wednesday the combined entity will integrate the company’s experience and knowledge in sensing, robotics and autonomous platforms, protection systems and next-generation tech services with Avantus Federal’s expertise in operations, strategic planning and stakeholder collaboration across government operations.
