SELEX Galileo is a major defence electronics company that specialises in surveillance, protection, tracking, targeting, navigation and control, and imaging systems. It is owned by the Italian company Finmeccanica.

SELEX was created by the Eurosystems transaction between Finmeccanica and BAE Systems which saw the merger of their avionics businesses. Part of BAE Systems Avionics became SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems Ltd (SELEX S&AS), while part remained with BAE Systems, becoming part of BAE Systems North America Group.

From January 2008, SELEX S&AS and Galileo Avionica began to operate under a common brand name, SELEX Galileo. In January 2010, the operating companies’ legal names were aligned to the brand, becoming SELEX Galileo Ltd and SELEX Galileo S.p.A. respectively. SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems (US) Inc became SELEX Galileo Inc.
