OGSystems, a firm that specializes in imaging technology-based geospatial intelligence combined with data analytics and security threat mitigation, has been acquired by security consulting firm Parsons for an undisclosed amount.
The Virginia-based OGSystem’s imaging and mapping technology is used by several federal agencies such as the National Reconnaisance Office and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.
Howard Fine reported on the acquisition for the Los Angeles Business Journal:
This deal is the latest of three Parsons acquisitions over the past 14 months targeting the space, security and geography-based imaging sectors. Last May, Parsons purchased space and security contractor Polaris Alpha.
“Parsons’ strategy is focused on disruptive, differentiated technologies demanded in high-growth, mission-oriented programs in the defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure sectors,” Chuck Harrington, Parsons’ chief executive, said in the acquisition announcement. “The actionable intelligence that geospatial imagery and data analytics brings to Parsons’ portfolio through OGSystems is a game changer. Whether informing our national security customers’ mission planning or designing tomorrow’s resilient smart city, Parsons now brings deeper intelligence expertise to the challenge.”
