Matra has continued to increase its presence in defence electronics with a deal to take over the remaining 50% in Matra Cap Systèmes, a joint venture with systems and communications group Cap Gemini. The Fr800 million ($145 million) join venture was formed in 1993 through the merger of Cap Gemini's Sesa Defense unit with Matra's MS 21 subsidiary, which specialises in command and communications, as well as image and data processing.
