With the acquisition, MAG Australia will increase its commercial potential while supporting its current customer base and the manned and unmanned intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) services in the Asia-Pacific region.

Last year, MAG acquired US-based engineering and defence solutions company Ausley Associates and Florida-based airborne special missions systems integration firm North American Surveillance Systems.

Founded in 2010, MAG was acquired by New-York based private equity firm New Mountain. The Australian division was established in 2016.

The company provides a complete range of ISR services such as operations, training and aviation services to federal, civilian and commercial organisations worldwide.
