The company merged in 1996 with Matra Defense to form the (then) largest European missile manufacturer, Matra BAe Dynamics. This group now forms part of MBDA.
British Aerospace Dynamics Limited (BADL or BAeDynamics) was a division of British Aerospace.
BAeDynamics was rationalised with the particular aim of reducing costs.
In 1996 BAeDynamics' guided weapons division was merged with a division of Matra Defense to form the (then) largest European missile manufacturer, Matra BAeDynamics.
In mid-1992 BAe wrote off £1 billion of assets, largely as part of restructuring of its regional aircraft division including the closure of its plant in Hatfield, Hertfordshire.
BAe cut 47% of its workforce (60,000 out of 127,000) 40,000 of which were from the regional aircraft division.
BAe Corporate Jets Ltd and Arkansas Aerospace Inc were sold to Raytheon in 1993.
