Boeing has bought eXMeritus, a US company that provides hardware and software to federal government and law enforcement organisations for sharing information securely across classified and unclassified networks and systems.

eXMeritus' products are certificated and accredited by the US government to perform this function on its most trusted systems, says the company. This and last year's acquisition of Digital Receiver Technology, Ravenwing and Kestrel Enterprises are part of the company's moves to expand its presence in the cyber and intelligence markets, says Boeing.

"Our military and government customers have said that protecting vital information networks against cyber attacks is one of the nation's highest priorities, and Boeing is responding to the call," says Boeing IDS president and chief executive Jim Albaugh.
