UTC acquires N2 Imaging Systems

UTC Aerospace Systems has acquired defense imagery firm N2 Imaging Systems.

The acquisition strengthens UTC's work on the next-generation Army night vision goggles contract. "Adding our experience in designing, developing and fielding sophisticated technology to the innovation of N2 will further support on-time execution of the Army's Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG) program," said John Trezza, vice president of UTC's force protection division.

N2 will join firms Sensors Unlimited and Cloud Cap Technology as part of UTC's force protection business, which provides camera cores and multi-spectral sensors.
