“The ADG transaction helped us assemble a broad survivability platform with an array of both established and emerging for chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear and explosive solutions.
“Contracts of this nature are the result of CSI’s strong relationships with their existing customers and speak to the longevity and applicability of the solutions, which we expect to contribute a more stable underlying revenue stream over a multi-year period,” he said.
