Division of L3 Technologies
Microdyne Corporation, commonly abbreviated to Mycrodyne, is a diversified
technology and services company,
based in Alexandria (Virginia, USA). The
company was founded in 1968 and is known for its range of high-end
telemetry receivers for governmental, industrial and aerospace applications.
Microdyne is currently an operating division of
L3 Technologies (soon: L3 Harris).
When Microdyne started in 1968, it was mainly a supplier of measuring devices
and receivers
for the satellite and aerospace industry. In the late 1980s,
the company entered the outsourcing business, operated call centers and handled
warranty repair work and marking programs for other companies. In 1991,
Microdyne acquired Federal Technology Corporation (FTC), and became a player in
the emerging computer business [1]. FTC developed networking products – mainly
for US Government agencies – which Microdyne wanted to deploy in the private
sector.
Although this initially boosted Microdyne's turnover, the networking
business collapsed in 1996, after Intel and 3Com dropped the prices of their
network interfaces.
Microdyne was acquired by
L-3 Communications
on 3 December 1998 for USD 90
million, but is still trading under its own name to this day (2019) [1].
In February 2019, the company had 1045 employees on its payroll.
