This includes physics research in support of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion energy. The company also provides research and manufacturing services for remotely operated surveillance aircraft including the Predator drones airborne sensors and advanced electric electronic wireless and laser technologies. General Atomic GA was founded on July 18 1955 in San Diego California by Frederic de Hoffmann with assistance from notable physicists Edward Teller and Freeman Dyson. Originally the company was part of the General Atomic division of General Dynamics "for harnessing the power of nuclear technologies for the benefit of mankind".<br/> In 1956 San Diego voters approved the transfer of land to GA for permanent facilities in Torrey Pines and the John Jay Hopkins Laboratory for Pure and Applied Science was formally dedicated there on June 25 1959. The Torrey Pines facility continues to serve as the company's headquarters. General Atomic's initial projects were the TRIGA nuclear research reactor which was designed so that it was guaranteed to be safe by the laws of nature and Project Orion.
