BlueHalo said Monday the transaction would enable the company to integrate its counter-drone platforms with Verus’ SkyView flagship offering for potential military and critical infrastructure protection applications.
Verus, which was founded in 2014, is the developer of the radio frequency-based SkyView c-UAS that works to detect and track small UAS and is available in mobile and fixed-site configurations.
BlueHalo CEO Jonathan Moneymaker said Verus has demonstrated its ability to bring critical c-UAS platforms to customers across the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community and civilian markets.
“We are incredibly excited to bring Verus into BlueHalo and provide an integrated, superior set of solutions offering a protective ring around our customers as we seek to neutralize the ongoing c-UAS threat,” added Moneymaker, a previous Wash100 awardee.
Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton acted as BlueHalo’s legal counsel in the transaction. Citizens Capital Markets and Cooley respectively served as financial adviser and legal counsel to Verus.
Arlington, Virginia-based BlueHalo is a portfolio company of Arlington Capital Partners and provides capabilities in space, directed energy, cyber and intelligence, C4ISR and missile defense, among other areas, in support of defense and national security customers.
