Barbaricum, a service-disabled veteran-owned government contracting firm, has acquired small business ODL Services in an effort to expand defense and technology service offerings.
Brandon Bloodworth, partner and co-founder of Barbaricum, said in a statement published April 15 that ODL Services brings expertise in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, training and mission support.
“The combined forces will drive significant advancements in modernization efforts, predictive analytics, [artificial intelligence and machine learning] and battlespace fusion for the defense and intelligence communities,” added Bloodworth.
Barbaricum looks to innovate the use of data as a strategic asset in support of defense mission by combining the firm’s applied AI/ML expertise with ODL Services’ ISR mission experience.
Commenting on the deal, Barbaricum Partner Scott Feldmayer said, “Our clients in the defense and intelligence sectors will benefit from an enhanced suite of services and a greater depth of expertise, ensuring they remain at the cutting edge of technological and operational advancements.”
