GECMARCONI refers to the joint venture between General Electric Company (GEC) and Marconi Electronic Systems. General Electric Company is a multinational conglomerate that operates in various industries such as aviation, power, healthcare, and renewable energy. Marconi Electronic Systems, on the other hand, was a British defense electronics and systems integration company.
In 1999, these two companies merged their defense businesses to form GECMARCONI. This joint venture aimed to combine their expertise in defense electronics and systems to provide innovative solutions for various defense-related applications. The merger allowed GECMARCONI to leverage the strengths and resources of both companies to enhance their research, development, manufacturing, and support capabilities.
GECMARCONI was primarily focused on producing advanced defense electronics systems, including radar systems, combat management systems, communication systems, and electronic warfare solutions. These technologies were essential for military operations, national security, and maritime defense.
By uniting their technical expertise and market knowledge, GECMARCONI aimed to enhance the efficiency, performance, and reliability of their defense products and systems. The joint venture allowed both companies to access new markets, capitalize on synergies, and deliver innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of defense forces.
However, it is important to note that the GECMARCONI joint venture no longer exists as GEC's defense business was subsequently sold to BAE Systems, and Marconi Electronic Systems became part of the British Aerospace Group.
