The acquisition of the Ultra I&C Mission Solutions business targets a specific niche in command-and-control and secure data systems. By folding these assets into its existing lineup, the McLean-based contractor aims to accelerate the deployment of AI-driven tools for mission-critical operations. Horacio Rozanski, chairman and CEO of Booz Allen, characterized the move as a direct investment to embed advanced technical products deeper into national security missions.

Financial projections suggest the acquisition will pay off quickly. The company expects the unit to deliver double-digit revenue growth and EBITDA margins exceeding 20% over the coming years. This shift reflects a broader corporate pivot away from traditional government consulting toward higher-margin, proprietary defense technology. The transaction is slated for completion in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30.
