NexTech Solutions (NTS), a leading provider of defense-grade technology solutions, today announces the acquisition of BOOMSLANG Aerospace, a developer of advanced unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and Counter-UAS (C-UAS) technology for defense and security applications. The transaction closed on August 7, 2026, and significantly expands the NTS UAS and C-UAS portfolio.


BOOMSLANG's unmanned aerial systems and C-UAS technology complement the modular C-UAS architecture of systems already delivered by NTS, broadening the options available to customers across detection, defeat, and airborne mission sets. The BOOMSLANG engineering team brings deep domain expertise in advanced UAS design and C-UAS systems, adding to the mission engineering capabilities behind flagship NTS products including MANTLE, VidTerra COMPASS, and JEFF-K.


"BOOMSLANG Aerospace has built exactly the kind of technology our customers are asking for: cutting-edge, mission-ready, and purpose-built for the current threat environment at the edge," said NTS CEO, Joseph Paull. "We are excited to integrate the MONGOOSE C-UAS system and BOOMSLANG UAS family of systems into our networked ecosystem of products."


The combined team of engineers, technologists, and subject matter experts strengthens NTS' ability to support the U.S. Department of Defense and other U.S. Government customers with fielded, mission-ready UAS and C-UAS solutions built for the current threat environment, positioning the company to address emerging airspace threats with speed and scale.


"Together, we can move faster from concept to fielded capability for the customers who need it most," said Alan Cornett, President and Co-Founder of BOOMSLANG.


"BOOMSLANG's approach to unmanned aerial systems and their C-UAS technology aligns perfectly with the modular, requirements-driven C-UAS strategy we are building at NTS," said David Pollman, Director of Counter-UAS Operations at NTS.


NTS secured a strategic investment from Clairvest, a private equity investor based in Toronto, in 2023, to become a platform company for growth in the defense technology sector. The BOOMSLANG transaction marks the fifth acquisition NTS has completed since the Clairvest investment. NTS has locations in Huntsville, Tampa, and Northern Virginia.

NexTech Solutions (NTS) has been awarded a NASA SEWP VI Category A contract, giving every Federal agency and their approved contractors a direct, fair-opportunity path to buy NTS edge software, hardware and services. Orders under the new contract (80TECH26D0494) begin November 1, 2026, and the period of performance runs through October 31, 2036. SEWP (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement) is the longest-running Government-Wide Acquisition Contract in the federal space, created in 1993 and now supporting more than 50,000 orders a year across all Federal agencies. SEWP VI Category A covers information technology, communications and audio-visual products and product-based solutions — the category that fits how NTS customers actually buy: a defined requirement, a quote, an order, with a 0.34% program surcharge and no additional fee to the agency. For program offices and contracting officers, the practical effect is simple. Requirements that were already headed to NTS under SEWP V — MANTLE and COMPASS subscriptions, JEFF-K and IDC Kit hardware, and the engineering that fields them at the tactical edge — can move to SEWP VI with the same team, the same ordering process and a ten-year runway. SEWP V stays open through January 31, 2027. NASA has extended SEWP V, so NTS's SEWP V contract (NNG15SD03B) remains available for orders until then. Agencies with in-flight SEWP V requirements do not need to change anything; new requirements can go to either vehicle until the overlap ends. How to order. Submit your requirement through the SEWP Quote Request Tool at sewp.nasa.gov , or contact the NTS SEWP Orders Team directly at orders@nextechsol.com with your agency, bill of materials and delivery location. Contract details, the Ordering Guide, warranty and support policies and program contacts are on our NASA SEWP VI page . SEWP VI joins NTS's other prime vehicles — including USSOCOM TREX 3, SeaPort-NxG and MDA SHIELD — listed on our Contracts page .
