=== Company History<ref>https://www.britannica.com/topic/BAE-Systems</ref> === BAE Systems was formed in 1999, the result of a merger between British Aerospace PLC (BAe) and Marconi Electronic Systems, which was formerly part of General Electric Company PLC. The origin of British Aerospace PLC itself dates back to 1977, with the merger of British Aircraft Corporation, Hawker Siddeley Aviation and some other firms. Hawker Siddeley itself is yet again the result of mergers between several British aircraft companies in the 1950s and 60s, and was divided into Hawker Siddeley Aviation (aircraft production) and Hawker Siddeley Dynamics (missiles and rockets). In 1990, BAe sold its corporate jet division to Raytheon, and became a partner in the Eurofighter Typhoon programme. In 1999, BAe finally signed a deal with General Electric to merge with its electronics business, Marconi Electronic Systems, and this resulted in the formation of BAE Systems.
