Harris Corporation has acquired Patriot Technologies, LLC. Patriot, which has about 100 employees, is a provider of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare IT, imaging, and enterprise software solutions.

"Patriot's VA credentials, relationships, and healthcare IT expertise are strong additions to our federal healthcare solutions initiatives," said Howard L. Lance, chairman, president, and CEO of Harris. "With this acquisition, Harris is well-positioned for a lead role in VA healthcare information technology and broader federal healthcare integration."

Headquartered in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, Patriot has operations in the Washington, D.C., area, including a facility in Silver Spring, Maryland. Patriot will become part of the Harris Healthcare Solutions business unit, led by Jim Traficant, vice president.

"Patriot is highly regarded at the VA for their technical excellence, mission expertise, and exceptional customer support," said Traficant. "Joining forces positions Harris for a lead role supporting joint VA and DoD priorities of integrated care and benefits delivery."
