General Dynamics

|
General Dynamics was officially established in 1952, although it has organizational roots dating back to the late 1800s. The company was formed after its predecessor and current operating division, Electric Boat, acquired the aircraft company Canadair Ltd. and began building the first nuclear-powered submarine, USS Nautilus.
Today, General Dynamics has leading market positions in business aviation and aircraft services, land and amphibious combat systems, mission-critical information systems and technologies, and shipbuilding and marine systems. It is headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, employs approximately 70,200 people worldwide, and has four main business groups: Aerospace, Combat Systems, Information Systems and Technology, and Marine Systems.
Combat Systems
General Dynamics Combat Systems is becoming the world's preferred supplier of land and amphibious combat system development, production and support. Its product lines include a full spectrum of armored vehicles, light wheeled reconnaissance vehicles, suspensions, engines, transmissions, guns and ammunition handling systems, turret and turret drive systems, and reactive armor and ordnance.
European Land Systems
In October 2003 Steyr-Daimler-Puch Spezialfahrzeug GmbH, MOWAG GmbH and Santa Bárbara Sistemas have been integrated into a single business unit, called European Land Systems.
