BAE Systems announced today that defense-industry veteran Gerard (Jerry) DeMuro will succeed Linda Hudson as President & CEO of the company’s $12 billion U.S. business. BAE Systems, Inc., as the unit is called, is one of the Pentagon’s top suppliers and a leading player in electronic warfare, digital networks, armored vehicles, intelligence collection, and high-end technical services such as cybersecurity.
