Dynetics

Dynetics is a Huntsville, Alabama-based Leidos subsidiary that develops strike systems, air-defense launchers, space hardware, sensors, cyber systems, and mission-integration work for U.S. defense and civil-government customers.

2 weapons

Dynetics grew in Huntsville's aerospace and defense industrial base as a supplier of national-security, space, intelligence, and critical-infrastructure technologies. Leidos completed its acquisition of Dynetics in January 2020, describing the deal as an expansion into hypersonics, force protection, space solutions, and advanced sensors.

For the catalog, Dynetics is most directly tied to compact precision strike and air-defense launcher work. Leidos materials identify Dynetics as the developer of the GBU-69/B Small Glide Munition, a tube-launched precision weapon for special-operations aircraft, and describe Dynetics' Enduring Shield launcher as an Indirect Fire Protection Capability system built to accept multiple interceptors against cruise-missile and unmanned-aircraft threats.

It combines GPS navigation, semi-active laser terminal guidance, fold-out wings, lattice tail controls, and a 36-lb blast-fragmentation warhead in a roughly 60-lb munition. Amnesty International identified GBU-69/B fragments from a November 2017 U.S. strike in Somalia, making Somalia the record's directly sourced conflict-use context.
