Cloud and C5ISR company Smartronix this month acquired C2S Consulting in an effort to expand its work with intelligence agencies and the Department of Homeland Security.

Under the deal, the Herndon, VA-based C2SCG will become part of Smartronix's cloud solutions business unit. Smartronix is backed by private-equity firm OceanSound Partners.

In an interview with Inside Defense, Peter LaMontagne, the chief executive of Smartronix, said the company saw an opportunity in a "pure-play business with depth in a client set where we don't have a lot of exposure."

He said the deal will allow Smartronix to compete for new work.

"There are opportunities that we will now pursue that wouldn’t have been possible before the acquisition," LaMontagne said, noting those are primarily in intelligence work. "It instantly accelerates us into being a larger player and more significant player in that space."

He told Inside Defense Smartronix will continue to seek acquisitions.

"I think you'll see us sharply focused on additional depth in application development," LaMontagne said.
