Booz Allen Hamilton has acquired Ultra I&C for an undisclosed amount, adding a portfolio of tactical communications, crypto solutions, and mission-optimization technology to its defense offerings. The transaction brings Ultra I&C, headquartered in Austin, Texas, under the ownership of the McLean, Virginia-based consulting and technology firm, expanding Booz Allen’s footprint in the multidomain battlespace.
Ultra I&C specializes in securing and interpreting data across air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace, delivering real-time intelligence to operators at the tactical edge. Its products are designed to accelerate decision-making in contested environments, a capability that has been relied upon by global defense forces and allied partners for decades. Booz Allen Hamilton, known for its work in defense consulting, digital transformation, and cybersecurity, will integrate these technologies into its broader mission-focused portfolio.
The acquisition is driven by a need to close the gap between strategic intelligence and frontline execution. Booz Allen’s existing expertise in data analytics and systems integration will combine with Ultra I&C’s hardware and field-proven crypto solutions to offer clients a more complete package for high-threat operations. The deal also gives Booz Allen a stronger position in the growing market for resilient, secure communications that function when traditional networks are degraded.
For Ultra I&C, joining Booz Allen provides access to a larger customer base and deeper resources for research and development. The company’s Austin operations are expected to remain active, preserving its engineering talent and existing contracts. Financial terms were not disclosed, and the deal is subject to customary closing conditions.
The combined entity will focus on delivering faster, more secure data flows for military and allied users, with an emphasis on edge computing and interoperability across domains. Booz Allen’s scale and Ultra I&C’s specialized hardware are positioned to address emerging threats where speed and clarity determine mission outcomes.
