NexTech Solutions Acquires BOOMSLANG Aerospace to Boost Defense Tech
Huntsville-based NexTech Solutions has finalized the acquisition of BOOMSLANG Aerospace, a move designed to deepen its footprint in unmanned aerial systems and counter-drone technology. Closed on August 7, 2026, the deal integrates specialized engineering talent and hardware into the buyer’s existing defense-grade ecosystem for U.S. government clients.
CEO Joseph Paull emphasized that the acquisition directly addresses specific customer demand for mission-ready technology at the tactical edge. This purchase represents the fifth strategic expansion for NexTech since securing private equity backing from Toronto-based Clairvest in 2023. With operations spanning Huntsville, Tampa, and Northern Virginia, the company is positioning itself to scale its support for the U.S. Department of Defense as airspace threats become increasingly complex.
