You start with 60,000 engineers, 60,000 patents, $7.3 billion in annual research and development funding, and 14 technology roadmaps that reflect what our customers will need, well into the future.

Then you add a venture capital division that invests in companies trying bold new concepts in areas such as artificial intelligence and electrified propulsion, and you complement it with research involving more than 80 U.S. universities.

This is our formula for transformative technologies – the products, systems and concepts to help our customers meet their most critical needs, as well as those they have yet to envision.

Advanced materials and manufacturing

Our teams use artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve the design, development and testing of products – and to make them smarter, easier to use and more capable than ever, with enhanced safety.

Electrification

Hybrid electric flight demonstrator

We are advancing technologies for electric and hybrid electric propulsion, as well as electric power technologies for power supplies, sensors, kinetic effects and non-kinetic effects.

Advanced sensing

advanced sensing

We have a deep heritage in developing radio frequency, electro-optical/infrared sensing, communications and electronic warfare systems for space, air, ground, sea and undersea environments.

Advanced propulsion

Thermal-management-aircraft

We are developing propulsion systems for a wide range of applications including commercial and military aircraft, as well kinetic and non-kinetic effectors.

Integrated systems
