M&A activity in the North American Aerospace and Defense sector for Q2 2014 included 29 closed deals according to data provided by S&P Capital IQ. Total deal value soared to $443 million, while average deal value reached $44 million. High deal value is largely attributed to several mega deals, the largest being The SI Organization’s $215 million acquisition of QinetiQ North America. Three additional deals, valued at more than $60 million added to the high deal value of the quarter.
