Summary
Booz Allen Hamilton announced it will acquire Ultra I&C Mission Solutions for $720 million. Ultra Mission Solutions specializes in defense technology, including mission-critical software, encryption, and edge-compute products. This follows Booz Allen's recent acquisition of Defy Security in April and comes after the company reported revenue declines in its Q4 and full-year FY26 results in May. The acquisition is expected to generate strong double-digit revenue growth and EBITDA margins well above 20% for Booz Allen for several years, strengthening its defense technology portfolio. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of Booz Allen's fiscal year 2027 (ending September 30, 2026), subject to customary closing conditions.
