History

Meggitt acquired S-TEC and S-TEC Unmanned Technologies (SUTI) for $24 million in 2000.[4][5] (DRS Technologies purchased the UAV business from Meggitt in 2002[6] but later closed the Mineral Wells facility.)

S-TEC was purchased for $38 million by Cobham plc in 2008.[7][8]

In April 2014, Cobham sold Chelton Flight Systems and S-TEC Corporation to Genesys Aerosystems.[9][10]
