LSG Innovations acquires Axios

Officials with LGS Innovations, a provider of next-generation networking and communication solutions for the U.S. national security, defense and advanced research communities, announced Sept. 28 it acquired Axios Inc.

“Axios has a high caliber of project performance, corporate culture and outstanding people,” LGS Innovations Chief Executive Officer Kevin Kelly said. “Both Axios and LGS employees share a dedication to the mission and a track record of developing creative solutions to complicated challenges." 

The acquisition of the Dulles, Virginia-based provider of leading-edge processing solutions and products complements LGS’ intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance technologies with the addition of mission-attached services and application development capabilities. Over half of Axios’ 120-plus employees hold advanced degrees in the fields of electrical engineering, computer engineering and computer science.

Axios officials said the acquisition will benefit both companies.

“We are very excited to join the LGS team,” Axios President Frank Nadal said. “By joining forces, we will be able to tackle even more complex and large-scale mission challenges for our customers, which is what brought us all into this line of work.”
