Recently formed defense tech company Lyntris has made an acquisition, buying Houston-based robotics firm Novium to further its satellite offerings.
Lyntis was formed last month through the merger of Vitesse Systems and Accelint to form a combined company focused on the connected battlefield. On Wednesday, the company announced the deal to acquire Novium. Terms were not disclosed. Lyntris plans to retain the company’s specialized team and Houston-based operations.
Novium builds high-precision motion systems serving for both space and defense applications, including robotic arms and rovers, radiation-hardened motor controllers, gimbals and associated software and embedded systems. Its applications include human spaceflight missions, and also include agriculture, energy, mining, and medical fields
Novium will join Lyntris’ Space ISR & Resilient Communications portfolio,which Lyntris said will expand its vertically integrated offering across signal collection, processing and precision actuation.
“Lyntris was built to deliver across the full ‘sense, make sense, act’ continuum — and Novium deepens our ability to do exactly that in the physical domain,” said Brian Morrison, CEO of Lyntris. “Precision antenna pointing is foundational to resilient communications and missile tracking constellations. Novium’s engineering expertise enhances Lyntris’ capabilities for the programs that depend on it.”
