Peerless is using this transaction to also further expand the research-and-development posture of its innovation center.
Peerless Technologies, a government services company focused on cybersecurity and systems engineering, has acquired defense tech outfit Statheros to gain more of a footing in electromagnetic spectrum operations.
Founded in 2021, Statheros specializes in applied research-and-development work on radio frequency and other communications systems. Terms of the transaction announced Monday were not disclosed.
“Peerless has undergone a deliberate, strategic transformation to be a provider of innovative, digitally enabled solutions and technologies leveraging our 20-plus years of customer-first systems engineering services,” Peerless‘ president Andrea Kunk said in a release. “Our investment in Statheros enhances our recent internal investments in tools, processes, and internal research & development to align with the mission of our customers.”=
The addition of Statheros takes place amid Peerless’ push to expand its innovation center in advancing R&D and capabilities across digital systems engineering, modeling and simulation, software engineering, open architecture and multispectral operations.
Statheros describes its core focus areas as including embedded RF system design and development, microservices frameworks and applications, open architectures and standards and distributed, high-performance software.
All of Statheros’ $1.6 million in unclassified prime revenue over the trailing 12 months came from the Air Force, according to USASpending.gov figures. Peerless has recorded $32.6 million in similar sales over that timeframe with 66% at the Air Force and the remainder through General Services Administration contracts.
