SNC said the acquisition will provide it with a comprehensive set of unmanned system control technology, magnetic wave radios, manned-unmanned teaming technologies, and national airspace deconfliction technology.

“With 15 years of experience in unmanned systems, Kutta brings a wealth of exciting technologies and capabilities to greatly expand our technical offerings,” Eren Ozmen, president of Nevada-based SNC, said in a statement. The two companies have worked together previously and Ozmen said that the deal provides Kutta with access to “a much larger audience through SNC.”

Kutta will support SNC’s Integrated Mission Systems business at its Maryland and Alabama locations. The IMS business does aviation integration, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance integration, and unmanned integration.
