Amergint Technologies agrees to acquire Raytheon's space optical systems business

摘要

US-based Amergint Technologies announced on 20 April that it has agreed to acquire Raytheon Technologies' space optical systems business for an undisclosed sum. The Raytheon space unit, which is based in Danbury, Connecticut, makes electro-optical systems that allow national security satellites to observe Earth. The purchase requires US regulatory approval, and Amergint did not indicate when it expects to close the transaction. The sale of the space business is required by regulators to preserve competition following Raytheon's recent merger with United Technologies Corporation (UTC) to form Raytheon Technologies. The space entity is part of Collins Aerospace Systems: a legacy UTC unit.
