Observation without limits. It’s more than the name of a company. It defines the enriched awareness we offer our customers who operate in a world of ever-present threats. O.W.L.’s job is to innovate technology solutions that enhance the security, safety, and efficiency of customers’ critical sites.

O.W.L.’s roots go back to 1974 when a group of entrepreneurial engineers established Dynetics, an O.W.L. owner, as a “radar house” to which government agencies and contractors turned for advanced technical expertise on radar, other sensors, and systems integration.

Dynetics (which became a Leidos company in 2020) has evolved its business over the decades into weapons, aviation, space, cyber, and other areas in which the company delivers an array of complex systems and services. Yet, radar remains a core capability in which Dynetics — and O.W.L.— continues to innovate and excel for both civilian and government applications.

Dynetics introduced the GroundAware® radar technology for commercial/civilian markets in 2012. Only five years later, Dynetics established O.W.L. as a separate business to take GroundAware® radar technology to critical infrastructure and government markets around the globe.

O.W.L. is unique among commercial security technology manufacturers thanks to our 100% U.S.-based engineering, manufacturing, integration, installation, and support capabilities, plus a half-century’s experience working with the most complex customers and user requirements. At the same time, O.W.L. operates as a small business with the agility to support customers’ and partners’ evolving needs and requirements.

In essence, O.W.L. moves at the speed of small business…but with the capabilities and experience expected of a company with decades in the radar business.
