Another deal in the aerospace and defense sector.

Although the impact of elevated interest rates on private equity players largely contributed to a decline in #Aerospace, #Defense, #Government & #Security M&A activity in 2023, steady valuation metrics, improved industry-wide earnings, and a stabilized financing environment are laying strong groundwork for a near-term rebound in dealmaking activity.

Project ACHERON Delivers We are excited to showcase our assured, high-capacity digital kill chain across all echelons to support SENSE, DECIDE, EFFECT and SUSTAIN, as the prime contractor and integration partner on ACHERON.  We seamlessly integrated and delivered a groundbreaking military exercise for UK Defence across multiple UK sites and with over 12 vendors and a raft of FLC partners as part of the FCI MDIS programme.   We see technology as much more than just equipment- it is the people (and their ideas), processes and tools that allow us to apply science to problems. By connecting multiple vendor RAS assets across land, sea, air, cyber and space we demonstrated: One Defence (People). Utility of deep collaboration and #MissionPartnering across UK Defence single services and industry suppliers. Integrated Procurement Model (Processes). Value in #DE&S #FCI acquisition approaches promoting rapid competitions and spiral development to accelerate speed to value. ANY, ANY Network (Tools). Potency of a common #IntegratedTacticalNetwork across UK Defence powered by our #SNC TRAX software for seamless interoperability across any sensor and any effector.         We have pulled the future into the present on ACHERON by demonstrating that much of the Field Army’s LETHALITY Top 10 is immediately available to deploy. Stay tuned as we continue to push the boundaries of Defence collaboration and innovation to deliver on CGS’ Big Bold Bet. Through people, processes and tools we are delivering a non-proprietary “any-any” network that promises rapid capability exploitation and evergreen Defence solutions.    Dream. Innovate. Inspire. #ProjectAcheron #DefenceInnovation #MultiDomainIntegration #FutureCapabilities #Collaboration #CJADC2 #MoD #Jacobs #EageEyeInnovations #ANDURIL #HELSING #TPGroup #Archangel #Babcock #ElbitSystemsUK #DSTL #Equinox #Aeroenvironment #CloudhillProductions #RoyalAirForce #RoyalNavy #BritishArmy #UKStrategicCommand #LtGenTomC-SCBE
