General Atomics to buy Miltec

General Atomics said Thursday it has agreed to buy Miltec Corp., which provides defense and aerospace systems design, development, integration and test services, from Ducommun.

The business would become part of General Atomics' electromagnetic systems group and is meant to bolster the company's expertise in hypersonic vehicles, small satellites and related products. The acquisition, GA said, would also give it an increased presence in Huntsville, AL.
