Applied Aerospace & Defense

Designs, engineers, manufactures, tests, and sustains flight- and mission-critical subsystems for space, military aviation, C5ISR, and precision-strike platforms. Space and Launch Systems provides spacecraft assemblies, antennas, power and thermal hardware, deployable systems, and Spinnaker drag sails. Defense Aviation and Airborne Systems supplies flight controls, landing gear, fuel systems, transmission and engine components; C5ISR and Precision Strike Systems adds sensing, RF, missile-body, launch, propulsion, and survivability hardware.

Combines concurrent engineering and structural design with composite and metallic fabrication, bonding, precision machining, assembly, inspection, testing, repair, overhaul, logistics, and configuration management. Work spans development, original-equipment production, and aftermarket sustainment, delivered principally under fixed-price customer contracts. Operations and long-lived assets are substantially U.S.-based, while revenue depends on U.S. defense budgets, prime-contractor relationships, program appropriations, specialized suppliers and materials, security clearances, and 11 specialized U.S. facilities.
