DCS Corp. has acquired a provider of research, development and engineering services as part of a push to expand across air and space missions.
Arctos Technology Solutions opened for business in 1961 and touts its core focus areas as including structures and materials, propulsion and flight technologies, sensors and electronics, and launch and flight safety.
Through this transaction announced Thursday, DCS is looking to grow a portfolio of applied R&D and technology transition efforts in areas such as hypersonics and advanced manufacturing. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Both companies tout the Air Force Research Laboratory as a mutual customer and now having a greater combined footprint in the Dayton, Ohio region where AFRL is.
DCS now has 350 people working in support of AFRL, the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center and other key customers at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
