Rand merged and became Sperry Rand which then became just Sperry which is now part of Unisys.

For what that’s worth.

Actually, the RAND corporation has never been a part of Sperry or its descendants.

The RAND corporation (RAND stands for “R and D”) was one of the original, if not THE original, think tanks set up right after WW II, and continues as such today.

The “Rand” of Sperry-Rand was named after the founder of a technical instrument company, and was merged into the Sperry corporate structure after WW I.
