FALLS CHURCH, Va.-General Dynamics will acquire TriPoint Global Communications Inc., a Newton, N.C.-based privately held provider of satellite and wireless communication equipment and integration services for video, voice and data applications.
TriPoint will become part of the General Dynamics’ C4 systems business unit, an integrator of secure communication and information systems and technology.
“This acquisition will enable us to expand our product offerings to our traditional tactical communications customer base and will give us new capabilities to meet the developing mobile communications requirements of defense and other government customers,” said Jerry DeMuro, General Dynamics’ executive vice president and group executive for information systems and technology.
The deal, for which financial details were not disclosed, is expected to close in the third quarter of 2004.
