Electronic Systems history

E-Systems began its participation in the automation of air traffic control in 1981 with the development and production of the Flight Service Automation System (FSAS) for the Federal Aviation Administration.

E-Systems had record sales of $827 million in 1983 and booked new orders amounting to more than $900 million.

The company substantially increased its research and development budget in 1984, concentrating heavily on defense electronics; electronic warfare; and command, control and communications.

In 1985, the Army terminated for default two contracts with Memcor totaling about $19 million.

Dixon stepped down in 1987 to become Chairman Emeritus, and was succeeded by David R. Tacke.

Tacke served as head of the company only until spring 1989, when E. Gene Keiffer, the former president and chief operating officer became chair and CEO of E-Systems.

In 1993, as the Cold War ended and eastern and western Germany became unified, Germany announced a freeze on defense contracts, a move that affected profits at E-Systems.
