History

McQ was founded in 1985[2] and began work mainly as contract support. In 1990 McQ began its transition to an electronics R&D company and has designed and produced many systems and products since. In 2010, McQ consolidated its production facilities into a new building on its Fredericksburg campus, expanding their manufacturing capabilities to meet demand.

In 2006, McQ's OmniSense UGS system was selected as one of the Army's 10 greatest inventions for that year.[3]
