Recent Aerospace & Defense Acquisitions in New Hampshire
Acquisition Volume in Aerospace & Defense in New Hampshire by Year
Last 5 years
New Hampshire’s aerospace & defense acquisitions center on making core technologies more “in-house,” with buyers using M&A to add capabilities in sensing and imaging, mission-critical electronics, engineered connectivity, and defense-relevant engineering services. Across deals from 2025 back to 2020, many transactions emphasize integration into broader product families or technical roadmaps.
Recent activity includes Anduril Industries acquiring American Infrared Solutions (AIRS), and LightPath Technologies, Inc. acquiring G5 Infrared, LLC to deepen cooled infrared imaging and expand vertically integrated infrared solutions. Other buyers—such as ITT Inc.—have focused on connectivity and cable-assembly capabilities via the acquisition of kSARIA.
Beyond sensors and connectivity, engineering and electronics platforms also show up in New Hampshire: Parris Javaid, Inc. (parent of Parraid, LLC) acquired DesignLinx Hardware Solutions, Inc. to expand FPGA and embedded software capabilities, while Arcline Investment Management formed Quantic and acquired TRM Microwave as an add-on to build mission-critical RF and microwave electronics. For maintenance and sustainment, GenNx360 Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in AeroRepair Corp—a Manchester, New Hampshire–headquartered MRO provider.
What Stands Out
- Infrared sensing & imaging is a recurring thread: acquisitions involving cooled infrared camera and components include Anduril Industries (AIRS) and LightPath Technologies (G5 Infrared).
- Mission-critical electronics and engineering services matter: deals include Parris Javaid, Inc. acquiring DesignLinx for FPGA/embedded software capabilities and Arcline/Quantic acquiring TRM Microwave for custom RF/microwave components.
- Connectivity & interconnects are another focus area, highlighted by ITT Inc. acquiring kSARIA to expand engineered fiber-optic and electrical interconnect offerings.
- Defense electronics portfolios also expand via capability add-ons, such as Pacific Defense acquiring Spear Research to add electronic warfare, SIGINT/ELINT, and advanced signal processing.
- MRO and sustainment remains represented: GenNx360 Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in AeroRepair Corp headquartered in Manchester.
