Booz Allen acquires PAR Government Systems

Booz Allen Hamilton has acquired PAR Government Systems Corporation (PGSC), a wholly owned subsidiary of PAR Technology Corporation. The acquisition will combine both companies’ technologies and workforce to counter the threats from uncrewed aerial systems, deliver advanced geospatial mapping, and support proliferated Low Earth Orbit (pLEO) space data operations.

PGSC delivers differentiated services and systems in strategic mission areas, including the provision of real-time communications and mobile situational awareness for military applications. Booz Allen says the acquisition strengthens the firm’s ability to meet the evolving needs of defence clients. Additionally, PGSC’s capabilities complement Booz Allen’s space data solutions, increasing the firm’s capabilities in dual-use commercial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) to augment situational awareness capabilities. PGSC’s suite of imagery and communications tools will also provide operational mission capabilities that enable scaled operational planning, data sharing, visualisation, and target management.

PGSC will integrate into Booz Allen’s global defence business led by Sector President Judi Dotson.
