Camber Acquires Novonics
Camber Corporation, a world class solutions company, has acquired Novonics Corporation -- combining their preeminent tactical systems software and simulation capability with Camber’s systems integration and engineering, cyber security, acquisition management, logistics and sustainment, and interactive training to federal government and commercial customers worldwide. Novonics, with primary offices in Washington, DC, Bloomington, IN, San Diego, CA, Orlando, FL and Virginia Beach, VA, provides simulation based learning systems, software/systems design and development, user introduction of complex technologies, and program and strategic planning for Department of Defense and international partners.
Utilizing simulation and distributed networks to accomplish learning and support mission-critical exercises decreases costs and increases readiness by allowing preparation and training in multiple scenarios. Decreasing budgets and increasing demand for more effective and efficient training will require even more innovative training and simulation capability. The addition of Novonics enhances that existing capability in Camber’s portfolio.
"We welcome Novonics employees to our Camber family. Novonics’ experience, customer knowledge and successful project execution is an excellent strategic fit for Camber Corporation. Novonics will build upon Camber’s existing foundation of simulation-based training, network test and evaluation, command and control, information management, and training architectures. We are proud to have them on board," said Walter Batson, Jr., Camber's CEO. "The merging of our teams will provide our customers and the simulation community with even higher quality solutions for their mission requirements."
