Red River acquires Invictus

On December 3, Red River announced it has acquired Invictus, a mission-focused national security services provider. Invictus will operate as “Invictus, a Red River Company.”

Invictus is a trusted mission partner with elite cyber, intelligence and enterprise modernization capabilities. With its established platform and experienced team, the company serves as the lead integrator for the Defense Intelligence Agency’s multi-year modernization of the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System environment. As the prime contractor, Invictus is working to enhance cybersecurity, resilience and global mission support across the global infrastructure. Invictus also supports missions at MARFORCYBER, STRATCOM, INSCOM and other federal organizations.

The acquisition strengthens Red River’s Government Technology Systems (GTS) business unit, an innovative, agile, non-traditional government contractor of mission-based programs, and expands the company’s ability to support highly sensitive missions across the Department of War (DoW), Intelligence Community (IC) and federal civilian agencies.

“Invictus is one of the most respected mission partners in the national security community. Their deep cyber and intelligence expertise, experienced team, and track record supporting some of the government’s most critical programs make them an ideal complement to Red River,” said Anthony Christie, CEO of Red River. “Together, we are creating a scaled, mission-aligned platform capable of delivering secure, AI-enabled modernization where it matters most.”

Invictus will maintain its existing leadership team and commitments to its customers while gaining access to Red River’s expanded engineering resources, secure federal supply chain, OEM ecosystem and end-to-end delivery capabilities—spanning design, procurement, financial services, integration, implementation and managed services.

“We are excited to join Red River and continue our mission under a company that deeply respects national security, invests strategically in its capabilities and shares our commitment to customers and people,” said Jim Kelly, CEO of Invictus. “Joining forces with Red River expands the resources available to our teams while preserving the values, leadership and mission-focus that define Invictus.”
