CACI International Inc has acquired Ascent Vision Technologies, LLC (AVT), a provider of technology and solutions that support multi-domain intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), unmanned aircraft system (UAS), air defense, and counter-unmanned aircraft system (c-UAS) operations.
AVT provides low size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-C) electro-optical, infrared (EO/IR) imaging systems designed for airborne, ground, and maritime platforms. This proprietary imaging technology is utilized in AVT’s X-MADIS system, an on-the-move, mobile and fixed site, c-UAS solution designed to detect, locate, track, identify, and defeat UAS threats. X-MADIS integrates radar, AVT’s gyro-stabilized optical sensors, and non-kinetic electronic warfare capabilities to combat the threat of hostile UAS and near-peer airborne threats. X-MADIS can also provide ground and surface surveillance, counter-IED, hostile fire location, and integrated kinetic capabilities.
AVT adds to CACI’s U.S. Army and Navy presence with the U.S. Air Force and Marine Corps, as well as international customers.
SheppardMullin served as CACI’s legal advisor in connection with the transaction. Jefferies LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Ascent Vision Technologies and Holland & Hart LLP served as legal advisor in connection with the transaction.
