Raytheon [RTN] yesterday said it has acquired the small technology development and services company Teligy, Inc., giving it additional capabilities and offerings in the cyber security space.
Raytheon also said the acquisition is the 11th it has made in the area of cyber since 2007. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The acquisition of South Carolina-based Teligy extends Raytheon’s cyber security offerings in wireless communications, vulnerability analysis, reverse engineering and custom kernel software and device driver development, Raytheon said. These are areas that are priorities of intelligence, defense and commercial customers globally, it added.
“The Teligy acquisition adds critical wireless capabilities that address the needs of our cyber security customers in the intelligence, DoD and federal communities,” Lynn Dugle, president of Raytheon’s Intelligence and Information Systems segment, said in a statement.
Raytheon also said that with the acquisition it will be able to cover the entire communications stack for wired and RF technologies and also gives the company access to emerging markets. Raytheon also said that Teligy has strength in transitioning prototype and proof-of-concept cyber products into deployable solutions.
The deal will not materially impact Raytheon’s sales or earnings in the fourth quarter of 2012 or in 2013.
Teligy’s co-founders will remain with the company.
