Our Strategy and Opportunities
The following are the broad elements of our strategy:
ⳮFocus on key strategic pursuits, technology and mission assurance to expand our position in our four core defense
markets: Sensing, Effects, C3I and Mission Support.
ⳮLeverage our domain knowledge in these core markets to provide capability to customers in the Homeland Security
and Cybersecurity markets.
ⳮExpand international business by focusing on customer needs in our core and growth markets.
ⳮContinue to be a Customer-focused company based on performance, relationships and solutions.
Our Markets
We believe that our technologies, domain knowledge and key capabilities and their alignment with customer needs in our
core defense markets, position us favorably to continue to grow and increase our market share. Our core markets also
serve as a solid base from which to expand into growth focus areas, such as Homeland Security and Cybersecurity. We
continually explore opportunities to leverage our existing capabilities, or develop or acquire additional ones, to expand
into growth markets.
ⳮSensing—Sensing encompasses technologies that acquire precise situational data across air, space, ground and
underwater domains and then generate the information needed for effective battlespace decisions. Our sensing
technologies span the full electromagnetic spectrum, from traditional radio frequency (RF) and electro-optical (EO) to
wideband, hyperspectral and acoustic sensors. We are focused on leveraging our sensing technologies to provide a
broad range of capabilities as well as expanding into growth markets such as sensors to detect Weapons of Mass
Destruction.
ⳮEffects—Effects technologies achieve specific military actions or outcomes, from striking targets or disabling hostile
information systems to using directed energy in peacekeeping missions. We are focused on moving beyond kinetic
energy weapons to provide a broader range of systems that generate desired effects on an enemy, including using the
missile as a node in the network, directed energy, lethal and non-lethal applications and cyber operations. Our Effects
capabilities include advanced airframes, guidance and navigation systems, high-resolution sensors, targeting and
netted systems.
ⳮCommand, Control, Communication and Intelligence (C3I)—C3I systems provide integrated real-time support to
decision-makers on and off the battlefield, transforming raw data into actionable intelligence. We are seeking to
continue to grow our market presence in C3I and also expand our knowledge management and discovery capabilities.
Our C3I capabilities include situational awareness, persistent surveillance, communications, mission planning, battle
management command and control, intelligence and analysis, and integrated ground solutions. In 2009, we acquired
BBN Technologies Corp. and related entities (BBN), which are now part of our Network Centric Systems business.
ⳮMission Support—We are focused on enabling customer success through total life-cycle support that predicts
customer needs, senses potential problems and proactively responds with the most appropriate solutions. Our Mission
Support capabilities include technical services, system engineering, logistics, training, operations and maintenance.
ⳮHomeland Security—We also intend to continue to grow our presence in the domestic and international homeland
security markets, focusing on transportation security, immigration control/identity management, critical
infrastructure protection, energy security, intelligence program support, law enforcement solutions and emergency
preparedness and response.
ⳮCybersecurity—We continue to enhance our capabilities in the cybersecurity market. We are focused on providing
cyber capabilities to the Intelligence, DoD and DHS markets as well as embedding cybersecurity in our products and
in our own IT infrastructure.
International Growth
Because of the breadth of our offerings, our systems integration capability and our strong legacy in the international
marketplace, we believe that we are well-positioned to continue to grow our international business. As discussed under
“International Considerations,” we believe that demand is growing for solutions in air and missile defense, homeland
security including border surveillance, air traffic management, precision engagement, naval systems integration and
