Racal Ltd. 1 was a British manufacturer
of military electronics such as radios and cryptographic equipment.
It was founded in 1950 and was once the 3rd largest electronics company
in the UK.
Over the years, Racal produced many different communications and
cryptographic devices, with an increasing degree of sophistication.
Some of their crypto-enabled products are listed below.
In 2000, Racal was sold to the French company
Thomson-CSF (now: Thales),
who continued part of the former Racal product line, which is still being
developed in the UK. One example is the Gougar 2000 range of covert radios.
After 2000 the name Racal has gradually disappeared.
