EDO Technical Services Operations (EDO TSO)
History
EDO TSO
75 plus year corporate history is rich in the delivery of
high technology products and services to businesses, medical
institutions, government agencies, and military organization.
AIL Systems
formed TSO in 1977 to provide engineering, programming,
flight test, avionics equipment repair, and production
testing for the B-1 Bomber at Edwards Air Force Base.
TSO offices are located in the Lancaster
(Antelope Valley area) of California. The Antelope Valley
(AV) is steeped in space, aerospace, and military history.
The Antelope Valley is the home of Edwards Air Force Base
and Air Force Plant 42 where Space Shuttles, B-1B Bombers,
B-2 Bombers, F-117 Stealth Fighters, SR-71 Blackbirds,
and U-2 aircraft were built.
We aggressively started expanding our
Information Technology support services into commercial business
areas in 1988. TSO's in-depth technical support, engineering,
programming, testing and computer operations expertise fueled
the expansion and enabled us to quickly become a provider
of cost-effective commercial IT outsourcing services
and products.
AIL
Systems became an employee owned
company in 1997. AIL (a
50+ year company) merged with EDO Corporation (a 75+ year
company) during 2000. TSO was integrated into EDO and
we continued our rapid expansion into the Information Technology
(IT) business.
Manpower
Sourcing
The
Southern California area has an abundance of Information
Technology (IT) qualified personnel.
We
actively recruit nationally from universities, colleges,
and trade schools.
We
have an established "Feeder" Network of qualified
support specialists.
On-site
projects are staffed by personnel from our Lancaster facility
and locally-recruited IT support engineers and specialists.
Our
Human Resource Department recruitment processes and our
partnership with leading employment and contract labor
firms enable TSO to staff remote locations with qualified
personnel quickly.
