History

General Dynamics Mission Systems was formed in January 2015 when General Dynamics combined the company's C4 Systems and Advanced Information Systems.[1]

General Dynamics C4 Systems was originally owned by GTE and operated as GTE Government Systems. General Dynamics acquired GTE Government Systems in 1999.[2]

In 2001, as the General Dynamics Decision Systems business unit, General Dynamics purchased Motorola integrated Information Systems Group (IISG) for $825 million.[3]

  • NOTE: This history needs investigation & update to show the merger with GDC4S and subsequent renaming.
