AAI Corp., the Hunt Valley company most known for its Shadow spy plane, is being split into three separate units by its parent company.
Textron Inc., which has owned AAI since 2007, said it was dividing the company to make it more efficient and to better serve customers.
The new units are: AAI Unmanned Aircraft Systems, AAI Test & Training and AAI Logistics & Technical Services. Each unit will be headed by separate senior vice presidents and general managers.
Ellen Lord, AAI's current senior vice president and general manager, will now lead Textron Defense Systems.
