History
[edit]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.)

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