The division had 120 locations worldwide, including 72 international offices, and approximately 24,000 employees; accounting for 20% of company sales in 2005.
Electronic Systems dates to 1938 when Westinghouse Electric Corporation’s Radio Division moved to Baltimore, Maryland from Massachusetts and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
In 1939, Westinghouse doubled its manufacturing area in its Baltimore location to accommodate the production of the then secret SCR-270 aircraft warning radar.
The first ground-based radar built for the Army Signal Corps, the SCR-270, was the model to stay in action throughout all of World War II.
By 1966, the division designed and developed a miniaturized black-and-white camera that captured images from the Project Apollo Lunar Module that landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969.
