St. Petersburg-based Acron Technologies, a portfolio company of private equity firm TJC L.P., has acquired Portland, Oregon-based Sightline Intelligence, a company that develops products for the defense and aerospace industries. The acquisition, which closed on April 24, expands the organization and brings in additional capabilities. Sightline intelligence's real-time analytics tools provide "actionable insights," which can empower users in "mission-critical" situations and help them make decisions quickly. The company's CEO, Alan Crawford, stated that the acquisition will expand the company and help reduce dependence on bandwidth-limited environments. This acquisition follows the purchase of Alereon, Inc., a defense ultra-wideband wireless solutions company.
