In 1960 Dr. Henry Singleton and Dr. George Kozmetsky formed a company called Teledyne. Loosely translated, Teledyne means Power Through Communication. Teledyne was formed to capitalize on the coming revolution in which digital technology would replace analog devices and systems in everything we could touch and imagine.

Teledyne has evolved considerably over the years. Today, Teledyne includes a focused set of complementary, high-tech businesses.

Defense Electronics products and services include vacuum devices and integrated solid state microwave subassemblies for electronic warfare, satellite communication and radar applications; microelectronic modules for secure communications; high voltage connectors and cable assemblies; and contract manufacturing of military electronic assemblies.

We manufacture Electronic Instruments for air and water quality analysis and emissions monitoring, drug discovery and industrial process control. Furthermore, our acoustic instrumentation businesses provide innovative sensors and systems used in petrochemical exploration, environmental analysis and government applications.

Other Commercial Electronics is comprised of specialized avionics, which include data acquisition and communication products for air transport and business aircraft. In addition, we also manufacture microwave assemblies and electronic relays used in wireless infrastructure. We also provide manufacturing services for subassemblies used in medical instruments and in implantable medical devices.

Our Government Engineering Services apply the skills of our extensive staff of engineers and scientists to provide innovative software systems engineering and manufacturing solutions to defense, space, environmental, and homeland security customers. We also provide distributed power generation systems for defense and space applications.

Our Aerospace Engines and Components segment is one of two primary worldwide original equipment producers of piston engines for the general aviation marketplace. We also design, develop and manufacture small turbine engines primarily used in tactical missiles.
