Exelis, a global aerospace, defense and services company, has acquired Celestech to expand its data sharing capability.

Celestech is a technology development and engineering firm that develops tailored tailored technical solutions for signal processing and communications systems. Since Celestech’s expertise in the field of data analytics supports Exelis’ intelligence, surveillance and analytics strategic growth platform, it will become part of the Electronics division, the company states.
