Raytheon has acquired Sensintel, a privately-held UAV maker with links to the intelligence and special operations communities.
The Tucson-based Sensintel, with approximately 50 employees, will become a part of Raytheon's Missile Systems division, according to a Raytheon news release. Raytheon did not provide specifics of the sale.
Sensintel has worked with Special Operations Command (SOCOM), Office of Naval Research and the Air Force Research Laboratory.
"Sensintel's expertise in unmanned aircraft systems solutions makes it a natural fit with Raytheon's Advanced Missile Systems product line," said Raytheon Missile Systems president Taylor Lawrence. "The acquisition of Sensintel enhances the growth prospects of our UAS business and the advanced capabilities we can offer our customers."
