Overview

Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc., is a key business segment of Teledyne Technologies, a confederation of commercial and government-supporting companies.

Headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, with operations and offices throughout the United States and representation in several other countries, Teledyne Brown is a recognized leader in providing solutions in Space, Defense, Environmental, and Homeland Security programs.

Our strengths in both engineering and manufacturing distinguish us from our competitors. With over five decades of experience, our capabilities are continually being improved to stay on the leading edge of rapidly evolving technologies and meet the needs of our customers.

From the launch of America's first satellite, we have supported every major U.S. space initiative. Teledyne Brown presently has a vital role in operating the International Space Station and provides space-qualified hardware for on-board research. We are the primary contractor supporting NASA's microgravity research and development, and we operate the propulsion test facilities at the Marshall Space Flight Center. We also provide services and hardware for the European Space Agency, as well as for Russian and Japanese space programs.

Teledyne Brown is the largest non-hardware contractor providing planning, development, testing, and logistical support to the Ground-based Midcourse Defense, DoD's system to protect America from missile threats. We also provide software and engineering services, as well as hardware development for many other programs of the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard. Our subsidiary, Teledyne Solutions, Inc., serves defense programs with systems engineering and technical assistance support.

In the environmental field, our radiological laboratory serves a wide range of customers, including power-generating plants and the U.S. Air Force. To protect the environment, Teledyne Brown develops and applies disposal systems for the U.S. Army non-stockpile chemical weapons demilitarization program. Built to DOE's requirements, our specialized containers are used to transport and store spent nuclear fuel.

Many of Teledyne Brown's capabilities are being applied to needs in Homeland Security. In software, we provide cyber-security applications and a mission-critical consequence management tool for rapid creation of responses to terrorist attacks. Hardware includes a rapid-response chemical destruction system and a mobile detonation chamber for safely disposing of explosives.

Software development has been central to our activities throughout the years. Our products, developed at SEI CMM Level 4, range from small software packages for systems analysis to high-fidelity, real-time distributed simulations. Our standard-setting Extended Air Defense Simulation software is used throughout DoD and by many of our allies.

From prototypes and one-of-a-kind items to rate production, Teledyne Brown provides quality design and fabrication of mechanical and electronic products at competitive cost. With modern CAD systems and analysis tools, we can design hardware ranging from microelectronics to massive structures. Our manufacturing facility has 110,000 square feet of space, including a machine shop with multi-axis CNC equipment and a large clean room. We are ISO-9001 compliant and are ASME N-Stamp certified.

Teledyne Brown is now at the forefront of technology in applying our strong engineering, research, and manufacturing capabilities to emerging areas. New activities include the 21st-century lunar and planetary exploration, advanced unmanned aerial vehicles, international weapons-of-mass-destruction threat reduction, independent flight-data systems for commercial aircraft security, a multipurpose armored troop-transport system, and control of military space -- the ultimate "high ground."

Started in 1953 to support rocket development by the Wernher von Braun team at Redstone Arsenal and what was to become NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, our company was the first high-technology firm established in Huntsville. Cummings Research Park, now the second largest park of its type in the Nation, was initiated by us. We became a Teledyne company in 1966.
