This week the GovCon industry witnessed several large-scale mergers and acquisitions, as well as a number of executive moves in both the public and private sectors.

Computer Sciences Corp. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s enterprise services division announced the launch of their combined IT services firm DXC Technology on Monday. DXC Technology will offer a range of information technology services to public and private sector clients in order to meet the needs of a rapidly changing technology marketplace.

When CSC announced its merger with HPE ES last year, DXC Technology was projected to generate $26 billion in annual sales, with nearly $2.68 billion in projected revenue from the combined entity’s U.S. public sector business.

Monday also saw M&A activity for PAE and FCi Federal. PAE announced that it had agreed to buy FCi Federal for an undisclosed amount in an effort to expand service offerings for federal government clients. The transaction is expected to be completed within the next 45 business days, according to PAE.

FCi Federal will become a business unit of PAE following the deal’s completion and will continue to operate through its corporate headquarters in Ashburn, Virginia.

On Wednesday, KEYW Corp completed its acquisition of Sotera Defense Solutions, a Herndon, VA based national security technology contractor. Both KEYW Corp and Sotera expect integration to be completed by the new year to form a combined entity that will offer a portfolio of data analytics, cloud, cyber, analysis and operations, machine learning, geospatial and engineering support services to agencies within the DoD and IC.

The combined firm is projected to record nearly $535 million in 2017 pro forma revenue and over $55 million in adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.

L3 Technologies has expanded into the unmanned undersea vehicle market by acquiring UUVmanufacturer OceanServer Technologies. In an L3 Technologies press release, CEO Michael Strianese noted that the purchase of OceanServer Technologies will enable L3 “to support the U.S. Navy’s vision for the tactical employment of UUVs.”

The business was renamed L3 OceanServer and integrated into the defense contractor’s Sensor Systems segment, complementing L3’s portfolio of sensor, communications, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, anti-submarine warfare and mine countermeasures technology offerings.
