Tracor Aerospace Electronic Systems

Bringing together British Aerospace (BAe) with Marconi Electronic Systems (MES) has created a new group, BAE SYSTEMS, that is not only greater in size, but also greater in terms of the enhanced capability required to support aerospace and defence customers all over the world.

BAE SYSTEMS has a world-class prime contracting capability, combining key in-depth skills in naval platforms, military aircraft, electronics and other technologies. This enables us to offer outstanding complementary capability to customers across the main defence sectors, as well as in the civil aircraft market. We are also working towards a major boost in operating performance through the synergies and opportunities available to the new group, not least through the cross-transfer of best practice across all our operations.

The commercial practices we employ in the civil aviation marketplace naturally feed through to our dealings in the ever-changing defence sector; and conversely, many of the technology breakthroughs we achieve in military programmes enable us to develop the right solutions for our wide customer base.
