Quintron Systems Acquired by SAS: A Win for Space and Missile Defense Industries

Quintron Systems, a secure communications technology company specializing in space and defense programs, has been acquired by Special Aerospace Services (SAS) for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition was announced on Tuesday and marks SAS’s second purchase in the past month, with Godspeed Capital Management providing support.

According to data from USASpending.gov, Quintron has recorded $1.2 million in unclassified prime contract obligations over the past year, with NASA accounting for 92% of that amount and the Army making up the remaining 8%. The company’s DICES VoIP technology is used by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center to establish direct communication with the International Space Station.

As part of the acquisition, Quintron’s president, Dominick Barry, has been appointed as the chief operating officer of SAS. Legal advice for Godspeed Capital was provided by Latham & Watkins LLP, while The McLean Group served as the exclusive financial adviser to Quintron. With these strategic acquisitions and strong partnerships in place, SAS is poised for growth and success in the space and missile defense sectors.

In mid-April, Godspeed Capital Management introduced SAS to the government market and facilitated its first acquisition of Willbrook Solutions, a systems engineering company focused on defense programs.

The terms of both transactions were not disclosed. However, it is clear that these acquisitions are part of a larger strategy by SAS to establish itself as a major player in the space and missile defense industries.

Quintron Systems has been in operation since 1970 and designs Voice-over-Internet Protocol technology to ensure seamless communication during launch operations.

With these new partners on board, SAS is well-positioned for success in these sectors. It will be interesting to see what other strategic moves they make in the near future.
