BAe Dynamics

BAe Dynamics

British Aerospace Dynamics Limited (BADL or BAe Dynamics) was a division of British Aerospace.

British Aerospace was created in April 1977 by the merger of the British Aircraft Corporation, Hawker Siddeley Aviation, Hawker Siddeley Dynamics and Scottish Aviation. The missile, weapon systems and space businesses of these companies were merged into British Aerospace Dynamics Limited (BADL), a wholly owned subsidiary of BAe.

British Aerospace was partially privatised on February 4 1981. In 1989 the then fully privatised BAe instituted a company wide restructuring. BAe Dynamics was rationalised with the particular aim of reducing costs. Along with redundancies the main part of this was the closing of four of the company's facilities; Bracknell, Hatfield, Bolton and Weymouth.

On January 1 1992 British Aerospace Defence Ltd began trading as a wholly owned subsidiary of BAe. Previously separate defence companies now operated as divisions of that subsidiary;
*British Aerospace (Dynamics) Ltd
*British Aerospace (Military Aircraft) Ltd,
*Royal Ordnance plc
*British Aerospace Systems and Services Division (BAe SSD)

In 1994 the BAe Dynamics subsidiary British Aerospace Space Systems was sold to Matra Marconi Space.

In 1996 BAe Dynamics' guided weapons division was merged with a division of Matra Defense to form the (then) largest European missile manufacturer, Matra BAe Dynamics. This group now forms part of MBDA.
