It was formed in October 2001 by a management buy-out of Hunting Engineering and was subsequently acquired by Lockheed Martin UK Holdings, Ltd., a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation in October 2005.[1]

As part of Lockheed Martin UK it undertakes the certification and supply of the WAH-64 Apache helicopter munitions.[2] Support equipment includes the in-service and future Biological Detection Systems,[3] field hospitals, power generation and supply.
