UTC Aerospace Systems acquires N2
UTC Aerospace Systems announced on 2 December that it has acquired N2 Imaging Systems (N2) to strengthen its intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance business.
N2's experience delivering advanced optical systems for the military and commercial segments will enhance UTC Aerospace Systems' commitment to the US Army's Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition (RSTA) mission.
N2 will join UTC's Force Protection business, which provides camera cores and multi-spectral, fused imaging solutions for handheld, ground vehicle, rotary craft and unmanned aerial systems for military, civil and commercial applications.
John Trezza, vice president and general manager, UTC Aerospace Systems' Force Protection business, said: ‘The addition of N2 reflects our unwavering dedication to rapidly developing the most advanced imaging technology at an attractive price to support the RSTA mission now and in the future. 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 ENVG programme.’
Dave Masarik, president, N2, said: ‘As we ramp up into the next generation of imaging systems, customers will benefit from the combined technology expertise and execution of UTC Aerospace Systems and N2. Bringing together the innovations in sensor technology of both companies opens up a wide array of opportunities for development of new, cost-effective man-portable imaging systems for military and commercial users.’
