Curtiss-Wright said Thursday it will integrate PacStar into the Davidson, North Carolina-based electronics company's defense segment after the deal's closure slated for the fourth quarter.
PacStar has patented hardware and software, such as the IQ-Core remote operations and management platform, that were built support command, control and communications functions.
David Adams, chairman and CEO of Curtiss-Wright, said the acquisition “represents the largest transaction” in the firm’s recent history and seeks to establish its position as a network communications systems provider in the U.S. military sector.
He added that the company looks to combine its technology offerings with PacStar’s product line in a push to accelerate data link network management and system integration work for defense modernization programs.
Curtiss-Wright expects the deal to be accretive to its adjusted diluted earnings per share during the first year of ownership, excluding purchase accounting costs for the initial one-year period.
