DCS Completes Merger With Defense Subsidiary Infoscitex; Jim Benbow Quoted

DCS will officially merge with its Beavercreek, Ohio-based defense subsidiary Infoscitex on Jan. 1 and the move is intended to continue building on program support offerings for aerospace and defense customers, Dayton Business Journal reported Tuesday.

IST was acquired by DCS in 2012 and since then, has been operating as the latter’s wholly-owned subsidiary to maintain brand equity and name recognition in the market while collaborating with DCS to offer a complementary portfolio of A&D technologies and other cross-corporate capabilities.

Commenting on the merger completion, DCS CEO Jim Benbow said, “This is an exciting next step in the evolution of DCS, further integrating IST’s impressive array of technical capabilities to better serve our customers.”

IST will be rebranded to DCS while preserving its Dayton regional presence.

Meanwhile, the integrated DCS organization will continue offering support in the areas of operations research and analysis, human-centered artificial intelligence development, human-machine interfaces, modeling and simulation frameworks, weapon systems effectiveness analysis as well as simulation-based research and development, among others.
