The purchase of the company, based in Germantown, Md., which was announced Nov. 14, is part of a plan by the Chicago-based aerospace and defense giant to expand its presence in the intelligence market.

With DRT in its portfolio, Boeing will be better able to meet the needs of its government intelligence customers with respect to improved intelligence gathering, analyzing and sharing tools, company officials said at the time of purchase.
