Ultra I&C Closes Expeditionary Engineering Acquisition

Ultra Intelligence & Communications has completed the acquisition of Expeditionary Engineering to bolster its advanced networking and communications systems processing capabilities.

Integrating Expeditionary Engineering Technologies

Ultra I&C said Wednesday acquiring the San Diego-based company, which specializes in software programmable open systems compliant, or SPOC, 3U VPX technology, will strengthen its airborne communications capabilities by broadening edge computing within different defense systems and reinforce its software deployment capabilities in distributed tactical scenarios.

By integrating the 3U VPX technology with Ultra I&C’s encryption and software-defined communications systems, the defense technology company will produce a unified hardware-software platform capable of mission-critical functions, such as command and control, sensor data processing and software-defined secure communications. This will also enhance computational performance and software delivery at the tactical edge.

Aside from the SPOC 3U VPX, the defense technology company will integrate other Expeditionary Engineering technologies that can be utilized for various aerospace and defense operations prioritizing size, weight and power, or SWaP, constraints.

“At the core of every long-range targeting chain is a high-performance processor, empowering our warfighters with the decision advantage needed to outpace adversaries,” said Jon Rucker, president and CEO of Ultra I&C. “The acquisition of Expeditionary Engineering strengthens our ability to deliver open, modular and rapidly upgradable command and control systems — ensuring our customers maintain decision superiority while maximizing interoperability in an evolving battlespace,” added the two-time Wash100 Award winner.
