The London-listed group said the deal for the Essex-based group, which posted revenue of £5m in the last financial year, was funded from existing debt facilities.
"Argus is a strategic addition to our fire and first responder product range and we expect the acquisition to be modestly earnings enhancing during the current financial year.
"The Argus team brings a wealth of technical expertise in this area which will generate longer term product development opportunities for the Protection & Defence business."
