Our major activities include:

military aircraft and helicopter systems;
commercial aviation systems and aerostructures;
unmanned aircraft systems (UAS);
electro-optic, night vision and countermeasures systems;
naval systems;
land vehicle systems;
munitions;
command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) and cyber systems;
electronic warfare and signal intelligence systems; and
other commercial activities.

Many of these major activities have a number of common and related elements, including common technologies and products, types of programs and customer interface. Therefore, certain of our subsidiaries, divisions or other operating units often jointly conduct marketing, research and development, manufacturing, performance of programs, sales and after sales support among these major activities.

Principal Market Environment

Notwithstanding the recent impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on governmental priorities worldwide, including a slow-down in the commercial aviation market, budgets for defense and homeland security have remained relatively stable in most of our markets. The recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in calls for increased defense budgets in Europe and elsewhere, while also increasing instability in the global economy. The nature of military and homeland security requirements in recent years, including low intensity conflicts and ongoing terrorist activities, tensions with countries such as Iran, as well as increased focus on leaner but more technically advanced forces, has resulted in increasing demand for technological solutions that incorporate digital transformation, including artificial intelligence, Big Data analytics, robotics, automation and information assurance. There has also been continued demand in the areas of C4ISR systems, cyber-defense systems, network centric information systems, intelligence gathering systems, border and perimeter security systems, unmanned aircraft systems, unmanned surface vessels, remote controlled systems, precision munitions, vehicle survivability and protection systems, space and satellite-based defense capabilities and homeland security solutions. Moreover, there is a continuing demand for cost-effective logistic support and training and simulation services. We believe our synergistic approach of finding solutions that combine elements of our various activities positions us to meet evolving customer requirements in many of these areas.

We tailor and adapt our technologies, integration skills, market knowledge and operationally-proven systems to each customer’s requirements in both existing and new platforms. By upgrading existing platforms with advanced technologies, we provide customers with cost-effective solutions, and our customers are able to improve their technological and operational capabilities within limited budgets. Our experience in providing “systems of systems” enables us to provide overall solutions in a range of areas to meet our customers’ comprehensive defense, homeland security and safety needs.
