Booz Allen Hamilton announced that it has acquired PAR Government Systems Corporation (PGSC), a wholly owned subsidiary of PAR Technology Corporation. This acquisition will combine PGSC’s edge technologies with Booz Allen’s expertise and digital battlespace solutions to accelerate and transform warfighter technology on the front lines.
Launched in 1985 and based in Rome, New York, PGSC delivers differentiated services and solutions in strategic mission areas, including the provision of real-time communications and mobile situational awareness to maintain battlespace dominance. And PGSC’s Integrated Tactical Solutions (ITS), Innovative and Commercial Solutions (ICS), and Intelligence and Readiness Operations (IRO) businesses have long-standing track records of innovation and development of technology-driven solutions for a range of government customers.
As a leading defense technology provider for the Department of Defense, Booz Allen has deep mission expertise with advanced technology to accelerate results across the warfighting lifecycle. And this acquisition strengthens the firm’s ability to meet the evolving needs of defense clients and adds highly technical and cleared talent with mission-relevant expertise to Booz Allen’s already strong global defense talent base.
PGSC’s capabilities complement Booz Allen’s space data solutions, increasing the firm’s ability to utilize dual-use commercial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) to augment situational awareness capabilities for operators at the edge. And PGSC’s suite of imagery and communications tools will also provide key operational mission capabilities that enable scaled operational planning, data sharing, visualization, and target management.
PGSC will be integrating into Booz Allen’s global defense business led by Sector President Judi Dotson. This acquisition further broadens and deepens Booz Allen’s ability to bring sophisticated technologies to evolving defense missions and deliver innovative solutions to warfighters in the digital battlespace.
Combining PGSC’s skilled workforce, innovative products, and dedicated client commitment with Booz Allen’s software development capabilities, talent, and deep mission expertise will expand and enhance multiple solutions that take on urgent national security priorities and geopolitical challenges, including tools to deliver advanced geospatial mapping, counter uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS), improve situational awareness, and support proliferated Low Earth Orbit (pLEO) space data solutions.
This acquisition continues to strengthen Booz Allen’s position at the intersection of mission and technology, aligned with the firm’s VoLT (Velocity, Leadership, Technology) growth strategy, its investment thesis, and current and anticipated Department of Defense priorities.
Jefferies and King & Spalding advised Booz Allen on the transaction. Baird and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP advised PAR Technology Corporation.
