GALT intends to ramp up its tech development activity with the private equity firm as an investor.
GALT Aerospace, a maker of networking and sensing systems for airborne platforms, has accepted an investment from private equity firm Godspeed Capital Management to help shape the next phase of the company’s strategy.
GALT opened for business in 2015 with the full name of Global Air Logistics and Training Inc. and focuses on technologies for use in C3 missions — command, control and communications. The San Diego-headquartered company touts its systems as in use across the Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy.
Through this transaction announced Wednesday, GALT will invest in its tech development initiatives with the goal of further scaling the company’s presence nationwide. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
GALT’s strategy also prioritizes the U.S. military’s joint all-domain command-and-control vision, also known as JADC2, for connecting every soldier and system in the field.
San Diego-headquartered GALT designs its systems for use in applications such as airborne networking, multi-domain communications, and radio and waveform integration. GALT also describes rapid prototyping and systems engineering as among its core service lines.
Godspeed’s portfolio of companies in the government market also includes Aurex, Crimson Phoenix and NextPoint Group.
