Google acquired New Mexico-based
Titan Aerospace. The 20 person start
up develops solar powered, jet-sized
drones intended to fly nonstop for
years, serving as atmospheric
satellites operating just outside of
commercial airspace. The technology
could be used to collect images and
offer internet access to remote areas
at a cost significantly cheaper than
satellites.
Lockheed Martin acquired BEONTRA,
a provider of integrated planning and
demand forecasting tools for airports
around the world. BEONTRA’s
capabilities expand Lockheed’s
business in commercial airport
information technology solutions.
BEONTRA has more than 40 airport
operator customers across five
continents including some of the
world’s major airports including
Dubai, London Heathrow, Sydney,
Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Schiphol and
Munich.
Ultra Electronics Holdings has
acquired 3Phoenix Inc. in a $87.0
million deal that provides Ultra sonar,
radar, intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance products and
solutions. 3Phoenix has 182
employees, and its main customers
are the Navy and the commercial
sector. The company will be bolted
onto Ultra’s Tactical and Sonar
Systems Division, and integration will
occur throughout 2014. The McLean
Group advised 3Phoenix on the deal.
