Expands M42's Defense and National Security Capabilities Across U.S. and Allied Government Markets

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / April 1, 2026 / Messier 42 LLC ("M42"), a private leading global artificial intelligence technology and digital transformation company, announces that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the privately held company Fairfax National Security Solutions LLC ("Fairfax"), a national security advisory and defense consulting firm, expanding M42's Defense and National Security Unit and strengthening the Company's presence across U.S. and approved allied government markets.

Fairfax is a distinguished company focused on building the self-defense industrial capacity of the U.S. and its allies. Fairfax is led by CEO Bill Mooney, a decorated 29-year Army veteran with senior defense, diplomatic, and industry leadership experience, alongside President and co-owner Tim Vuono, a former senior U.S. government national security executive and career U.S. Army officer with extensive policy and strategic leadership experience. Together, they lead a team of former senior leaders from the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Intelligence Community. The firm operates globally, supporting allied government clients with strategic advisory services, national security assessments, analyst training, cybersecurity capability development, and mission support solutions. Fairfax is registered with the U.S. government as an exporter of defense training, equipment, and related defense services and solutions under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), enabling participation in U.S. government and approved allied defense programs. M42 expects Fairfax to serve as a key driver of its expanding defense portfolio.

"This acquisition represents a strategic expansion and will be the cornerstone piece of the defense focused unit of our business," said a spokesperson for M42. "Fairfax brings seasoned national security leadership, regulatory readiness, and established global relationships. It enhances our ability to responsibly scale our defense activities while maintaining the highest compliance standards. When combined with M42's Transformational AI capabilities, we believe Fairfax will be further strengthened through advanced analytics, decision-support tools, and operational efficiencies that enhance mission outcomes while preserving strict regulatory and security controls."
