Ultra Mission Solutions is a defense technology business specializing in mission‑critical software, encryption, and edge‑compute products.
As global threats intensify, commercial technologies have become increasingly central to modern warfighting. The U.S. and its allies require solutions that seamlessly integrate this wave of new technologies to generate operational utility on the battlefield. Together, Booz Allen and Ultra Mission Solutions will provide an enhanced set of products to unlock this advantage for national security missions at greater speed and scale.
"Technological superiority is essential to U.S. national security, and maintaining our advantage requires a relentless focus on speed and outcomes," said Horacio Rozanski, Chairman and CEO of Booz Allen. "Booz Allen is strategically investing to accelerate delivery of our defense tech products into national security missions. Now, by integrating Ultra Mission Solutions into our robust portfolio, we are further strengthening our ability to rapidly build and field the commercial products that will keep America ahead."
For years, both Booz Allen and Ultra Mission Solutions have been focused on building products and capabilities that help warfighters integrate, secure, and operationalize technology at the edge and across domains. Booz Allen’s portfolio of AI-driven battle management, resilient communications, and edge infrastructure solutions—including the Modular Detachment Kit (MDK), EdgeXtend™ and Sit(x)®—will expand with Ultra Solutions’ mission-ready tech stack. Ultra Mission Solutions’ core offerings, including Apex, ADSI®, ACTS™, Rain™, and Knox™, unify command and control (C2), edge compute, secure data movement, and encryption into a modular architecture capable of operating in contested or disconnected environments. These solutions will now integrate into a unified platform available to national security clients worldwide.
"We are investing in reliable, scalable solutions that help unite the defense technology ecosystem. This combination provides a foundation for our continued investment to harness advantage from commercial technology innovation," said Steve Escaravage, president of Booz Allen’s defense technology business.
The acquisition will enable increased product integration and commercially available solutions accessible through outcomes-based procurement, Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and other go-to-market channels.
"Our customers operate where failure isn't an option, and meeting that standard has always defined our work," said Mladen Brkic, president of Ultra Mission Solutions. "As part of Booz Allen, we'll bring greater scale and investment to our employees, products and the critical technologies customers rely on in the most contested conditions and wherever the mission demands it."
Booz Allen expects revenue from this acquisition to grow at a strong double-digit rate for the next several years with EBITDA margins well above 20%. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of Booz Allen’s fiscal year 2027 (ending September 30, 2026) and is subject to customary closing conditions. Following the closing of the transaction, Ultra Mission Solutions will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Booz Allen.
"Ultra Mission Solutions has established itself as a trusted partner to the U.S. military and its allies with a portfolio of capabilities designed for the next generation of national security missions," said Mike Marshall, managing director at Advent. "We are proud to have invested in those leading-edge solutions and are confident that Booz Allen is the right home to scale that vision further."
