In addition to these contract milestones, IS&GS was awarded a contract in 2007 to support the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in its desktop infrastructure integration. IS&GS was also awarded the Information Technology Network
Operations Virtual Alliance (IT NOVA) IDIQ contract with the Department of Homeland Security.
Global Services
In Global Services, we support mission services, global security and stability operations and provide facility services. In
this arena, the key competencies are the people we provide to support the mission and our agility in responding to dynamic
staffing requirements. Significant programs include mission planning and launch services for Orion and other National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) programs, as well as military space efforts; in-transit visibility and other
asset management and logistics programs; and infrastructure and operational support contracts.
Through our Pacific Architects and Engineers, Inc. (PAE) subsidiary, Global Services provides entire support
infrastructures and staffing for overseas bases. This includes base camp construction, logistics, democratization services and
management of embassies, air terminals, base camps and other facilities. These operations are increasingly global in nature
as we are deployed with our customers and our services support their mission. Customers include the U.S. Department of
State and international agencies such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the United Nations. The Global
Services unit also includes Savi Technology, Inc., a subsidiary of ours, which provides radio frequency identification (RFID)
solutions for both our government and commercial customers.
Competition
The range of products and services at IS&GS results in competition with other large aerospace, defense and information
technology companies, as well as with numerous smaller competitors. The principal factors of competition include technical
and management capability, the ability to develop and implement complex, integrated system architectures, price and past
performance. Program requirements frequently result in the formation of teams such that companies teamed on one program
are competitors for another, especially in our Mission Systems line of business. On some outsourcing procurements, which
are more prevalent in our Information Systems line of business, we may also compete with a government-led bidding entity.
Space Systems
Space Systems is engaged in the design, research, development, engineering and production of satellites, strategic and
defensive missile systems and space transportation systems. The Satellite product line includes both government and
commercial satellites. Strategic & Defensive Missile Systems includes missile defense technologies and systems and fleet
ballistic missiles. Space Transportation Systems includes the next generation human space flight system known as the Orion
crew exploration vehicle, as well as the Space Shuttle’s external tank and commercial launch services using the Atlas V
launch vehicle. Through ownership interests in two joint ventures, Space Transportation Systems also includes Space Shuttle
processing activities and expendable launch services for the U.S. Government.
In 2007, Space Systems’ net sales of $8.2 billion represented approximately 20% of our total net sales. Space Systems’
principal lines of business and the percentage that each contributed to 2007 net sales are:
