BAE Strengthens Position As A U.S. Defense and Aerospace Powerhouse (From RealClearDefense)

From its founding in 1999, BAE Systems, Inc. has become one of the most important U.S. defense, aerospace and security companies. It has achieved its present stature through a combination of strategic acquisitions, far-sighted investments in cutting-edge technologies, and winning a significant number of important competitions. As a result, the company is a major player in several areas critical to U.S. national security, including armored vehicles, artillery systems and naval guns, electronic warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, communications and networking, and cybersecurity and support to the intelligence community.
