General Atomics said this week it has purchased Fredericksburg, VA-based Syntronics, which develops and manufactures custom electro-mechanical technologies.

The company specializes in technologies including “projectile and missile guidance systems, in-flight and ground-based shock resistant instrumentation and related software technologies,” General Atomics said. It will become part of General Atomics' electromagnetic systems group.

“The acquisition expands the company’s presence in Virginia and establishes an office in the city of Fredericksburg, approximately 30 miles from Dahlgren, Virginia, home of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division and the Naval Directed Energy Office,” General Atomics added.
