Dynetics
Dynetics is an American applied science and information technology company headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama. Its primary customers are the United States Department of Defense (DoD), the United States Intelligence Community, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Herschel Matheny and Dr. Stephen Gilbert founded Dynetics in 1974. During the 1980s, Dynetics expanded to include electro-optic and infrared sensors, missile systems analysis and design, software development, modeling and simulation, and foreign materiel exploitation of radars, missiles, and missile seekers.
In the 1990s, Dynetics continued to grow its core business and expanded into the automotive supply industry as a provider of electrical test systems. Since 2000, Dynetics has been selling information technology (IT) and cybersecurity services, including winning a contract to provide IT services to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The company entered the space business with the development of the FASTSAT (Fast Affordable Science and Technology Satellite) nanosatellite and the purchase of Orion Propulsion. Its space business continued to grow with a 2013 selection to compete for the Space Launch System Advanced Booster design contract with NASA.
On December 27, 2019, Leidos announced the purchase of Dynetics for US$1.65 billion, and acquisition was complete on 31 January 2020.
Dynetics divides its services and products into the following categories: intelligence, missiles, aviation, cyber, automotive, and space. The company opened a new building in 2012 called "The Solutions Complex" that is 226,500 sq ft (21,040 m2) of research and development facilities located in Cummings Research Park in Huntsville, Alabama. Dynetics operates remote operations additionally in Michigan, Florida, Virginia, Ohio, and Texas.
Dynetics served as systems integrator for the development of what was then the world's largest precision-guided air-dropped system, the 22,600 lb (10,300 kg) MOAB bomb.
In May 2014, Dynetics announced that they will build up to 18 satellites to orbit Earth, in order to gather more data about the planet for the government and businesses. The company will be partnering with OmniEarth LLC, Harris Corp. and Draper Laboratories for the project. Dynetics also partnered with rocket propulsion company Aerojet Rocketdyne to help design upgrades to NASA's Space Launch System.
In 2016, Dynetics was one of four companies to be awarded a contract by DARPA for an air-recoverable experimental unmanned aerial vehicle. Dynetics was chosen from the four companies to build the aircraft, which became the Dynetics X-61 Gremlins. The first X-61A made its maiden flight in January 2020.
