Qualis, a modeling and simulation services provider, has joined forces with two other companies to form a larger entity focused on space and missile defense programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a news release, Qualis is joined by InTrack Radar Technologies and Tektonux in the new venture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tektonux of Madison incorporates artificial intelligence tools into command-and-control systems. Colorado Springs-based InTrack Radar specializes in ground-based radar and electro-optical products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The combined company employs approximately 400 people; financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The customer base includes the Army, Space Force, Air Force, Missile Defense Agency and NASA. It will have <\/span>advanced laboratory facilities in Huntsville and an observatory in Colorado Springs to support mission development and innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis combination of capabilities represents a major advancement in our ability to support the warfighter across the sensor-to-shooter continuum,\u201d said Qualis CEO Rod Duke. \u201cBy bringing together pioneering domain expertise, continuously\u2013improved software and hardware, and mission-proven engineering, we are able to produce and pivot faster for our customers\u2019 new missions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Qualis is backed by <\/span>Bluestone Investment Partners, who first invested in Qualis in 2024 to aid its expansion in satellite communications and missile defense.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNew technologies do not work on real missions if users cannot make them work,\u201d said Tektonux co-founder and CEO Mike Hubler. \u201cWith this merger we can extend effective user experiences and help humans team with artificial intelligence across more platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBluestone\u2019s commitment to investing in people and technology catalyzes our application of commercial gaming and automation to users managing complex space and defense missions.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
