Safran Defense and Space, Inc. (Safran DSI) acquired Attollo Engineering, a company that specializes in compact, high-performance imaging and laser sensing solutions—the acquisition will strengthen Safran DSI’s product offerings by enhancing its capabilities in advanced imaging and sensing technologies.
Attollo Engineering specializes in shortwave infrared (SWIR) and midwave infrared (MWIR) imaging systems and laser sensing technologies. Known for its small pixel pitch sensors with advanced functionality, Attollo delivers innovative solutions at the cutting edge of small sensor cores and laser imaging to the defense, aerospace, and commercial sectors.
Attollo’s expertise in miniaturized imaging and laser sensing systems will complement and expand Safran DSI’s existing product lines by enhancing situational awareness, target detection, and surveillance capabilities for military and aerospace applications. The integration will accelerate the development of American-made next-generation solutions to meet the evolving demands of U.S. government and commercial partners. Post-acquisition, Attollo will continue to operate as a merchant supplier of key sensors and subsystems across defense and commercial markets.
Attollo’s technology broadens Safran DSI’s reach across multiple platforms, enabling faster, more accurate execution no matter the mission,” said Joe Bogosian, president and CEO of Safran DSI. Attollo’s advanced infrared and laser sensing technologies and cameras will significantly expand our U.S. customers’ capabilities in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. We are proud to be investing in jobs and cutting-edge technology in California. As a subsidiary of Safran DSI, Attollo Engineering will maintain its operations in Camarillo while forging synergies with Safran and Safran DSI’s global resources and technical expertise. By joining forces, we will accelerate our drive for innovation and building the future.”
Michael MacDougal, CEO of Attollo Engineering, said, “We are excited to join Safran DSI and contribute our imaging technologies to deliver cost-effective, mission-critical solutions for the defense and aerospace sectors. This acquisition will allow us to expand service to our current customers and gain exposure to support new customers.”
