The History of IDS
IDS Ingegneria Dei Sistemi was founded in 1980 with the intention to create an engineering center of excellence. During the first ten years after being established, IDS focused on the area of defense, specifically in the area of electromagnetic engineering centered on naval applications, and employed around 40 staff.
From 1990 to 2000, IDS continued offering engineering solutions, developing integrated hardware and software systems that improved the efficiency of clients’ work processes. IDS expanded its areas of business to include solutions for air traffic management and ground probing radar systems for civil applications. The organization grew further almost tripling the staff, 80% of whom were engineers and physicists qualified to university degree level.
In the two decades from 2000 and 2020, IDS became a global industry player, developing and launching innovative and cutting-edge products on to the global market. IDS opened subsidiaries in four continents across the world.
Recent history has seen IDS investing in new areas of engineering, developing new radar systems for safety and security and a range of unmanned systems. In 2021 IDS became a Fincantieri Nextech company.
The IDS headquarters in Pisa now employs around 200 people, and a further 50 are employed worldwide. With a modern headquarters that has areas dedicated to design, experimentation, testing and production covering 7000 square meters, IDS has the capabilities to become a major industrial player in its chose fields.
