In electronics, GEC-Marconi Electronics was created which included the Marconi Co (including Marconi Instruments, Marconi-Elliott Microelectronics, Eddystone Radio and overseas activities). The Radar, Aerospace, Defence and Communications divisions of GEC-AEI (Electronics) became part of this business unit [1]. After reorganisation, there were 4 "market-oriented management companies" covering the various GEC-Marconi Electronics companies; these were[2]:
- Marconi-Elliott Avionics Systems Limited,
- GEC-Elliott Space and Weapons Systems,
- Marconi Communications Systems
- Marconi Radar Systems.
A new semiconductor company was also set up at the same time: GEC Semiconductors
Excluded from these changes were Marconi central division and Elliott Automation Space and Advanced Military Systems as well as 2 business units outside the UK
Other electronics activities were assigned to GEC-Elliott Automation Ltd
