Standoff Land Attack Missile Expanded
Response (SLAM ER) Missile
The SLAM ER missile provides over-the-horizon,
precision strike capability for the U.S. Navy day
or night and in adverse weather conditions. The
only air-to-surface weapon that can engage fixed
or moving targets on land and at sea, SLAM ER
provides an effective, long-range, precision-
strike option for both preplanned and target-of-
opportunity missions.
Training Systems & Services (TS&S) TS&S delivers comprehensive, realistic aircrew and
maintenance training systems, support services
and mission planning solutions for both Boeing
and non-Boeing programs worldwide. Award-
winning training solutions encompass software,
hardware, networked systems and training centers
for customized programs that enable flight students
to train as they would in theater without the
materials, personnel costs and environmental im-
pact associated with training in operational aircraft.
United Launch Alliance (ULA) Using the combined assets of the Boeing Delta
and Lockheed Martin Atlas launch vehicle pro-
grams (including mission management, support,
engineering, vehicle production, test and launch
operations and people), ULA’s primary mission is to
provide satellite launch services to the U.S. govern-
ment. The joint venture also launches commercial
missions on behalf of Boeing Launch Services.
V-22 Osprey Produced jointly by Boeing and Bell Helicopter, a
Textron Company, the tiltrotor V-22 Osprey com-
bines the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft
with the vertical flight performance of a helicopter.
In 2008, the program received a $10.4 billion
multiyear contract for 167 aircraft (141 MV-22s
for the U.S. Marine Corps and 26 CV-22s for the
U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command)
over five years. Subsequent contract modifica-
tions have increased the five-year multiyear
procurement to 174 aircraft. The CV-22 reached
its Initial Operational Capability milestone in
March 2009 and has since been deployed to Iraq,
Afghanistan and undisclosed locations around
the world. The current program of record calls
for a total of 458 V-22 Ospreys, including 360 for
the Marine Corps, 50 for the Air Force Special
Operations Command and 48 for the U.S. Navy.

Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS)
As the U.S. Department of Defense’s highest-
capacity military communications satellite
system, WGS addresses the military’s need for
high data-rate communications. The first three
satellites, which constitute Block I, have been
launched successfully into orbit and are perform-
ing their missions. The next three WGS satel-
lites, called Block II, are scheduled for launch in
2012 and 2013 and include enhancements that
provide additional bandwidth required by airborne
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance
platforms. In August 2010, the Air Force awarded
funding under the Block II Follow-on contract,
enabling Boeing to begin work on WGS-7.
The contract includes options for up to six WGS
satellites, through WGS-12.
Boeing Capital Corporation Michael J. Cave, President, Renton, Washington, USA
Boeing Capital is a global provider of innovative
financial solutions. Drawing on its comprehensive
expertise, Boeing Capital arranges, structures
and, where appropriate, provides financing for
commercial and government customers around
the world. Working with Boeing’s business units,
Boeing Capital is committed to helping customers
obtain efficient financing for Boeing products and
services. To ensure adequate availability of capital
for aircraft financing, Boeing Capital is leading
efforts to improve the international financing
infrastructure and engaging financiers in a
comprehensive investor-outreach program.
With four decades of experience in structured
financing, leasing, complex restructuring and
trading, Boeing Capital’s team brings opportunity
and value to its financial partners and influences
investors on the strong product and asset value
represented by Boeing aircraft. As of December 31,
2010, Boeing Capital owned or had interest
in approximately 285 airplanes as part of its
$4.7 billion portfolio.
Unmanned Airborne Systems (UAS) Boeing’s unmanned programs provide customers
with additional battlefield, logistics and surveillance
options. The UAS portfolio currently consists of the
ScanEagle®, IntegratorTM, A160T Hummingbird
(shown at left), UH-6 Unmanned Little Bird and,
through a marketing agreement with Austria’s
Schiebel Industries, the S-100 produced by
Schiebel. The division includes Insitu, a wholly
owned subsidiary, which is a pioneer in the UAS
market and leader in the design, development
and manufacture of high-performance, low-cost
unmanned vehicles used for intelligence, surveil-
lance and reconnaissance. Boeing’s technology
and related support systems provide important
tools that deliver critical data or strike capacity to
the warfighter precisely when — and where —they
are needed. Innovation, teamwork and mission
focus exemplify Boeing’s commitment to the
warfighter to offer the best available capabilities,
reliability and affordability. About 15 percent of
UAS sales are to international customers.
X-51A WaveRider The X-51A WaveRider program is a consortium of
the U.S. Air Force, Defense Advanced Research
Project Agency, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne
and Boeing to demonstrate hypersonic flight
capability. The X-51A is designed to demonstrate
a scalable, robust endothermic hydrocarbon-
fueled scramjet propulsion system in flight, high-
temperature materials, airframe/engine integration
and other key technologies within the hypersonic
Mach 4.5 to 6.5 range. Built by Boeing Phantom
Works Advanced Network & Space Systems,
the X-51A is setting the foundation for several
hypersonic flight applications, including access-
to-space, global reach, reconnaissance-strike
and commercial transportation. During its initial
test flight in May 2010, the vehicle flew at Mach
5 for approximately 200 seconds. The next test
flight is expected in 2011.
