Dynetics, a developer of defense/aerospace and IT systems in Huntsville, Alabama said Thursday it plans to add a new R&D and prototyping facility to its current Huntsville location. The company says it expects to hire 350 new workers over three years to staff the facility, but gave no timetable for when construction work begins.

The new facility will expand Dynetics’ capabilities in research and development and production for aerospace, defense and cyber products. It will provide space for the company’s hardware integration; specialty item production; space systems work (including satellite integration); and specialized systems, subsystems and tools development.

The production portion of the facility will house multiple labs, work bays and other spaces dedicated to testing/calibration, tools management and collaboration/meetings.  Two labs and bays will meet sensitive compartmented information (SCI)-level requirements.  The facility will contain a clean room for satellite integration work, as well as a large vacuum chamber. The company also plans to build labs for environmental testing, PCB assembly, and instrumentation.
