About BAE Systems

BAE Systems is a British multinational defense, security, and aerospace company. The company is based in the United Kingdom and operates worldwide. BAE is the largest defense contractor in Europe, and among the largest defense contractors in the world. In 2017, the company ranked third in terms of revenue. BAE’s largest operations are in the United Kingdom and United States. Its American subsidiary, BAE Systems Inc., is among the six largest suppliers to the United States Department of Defense. BAE’s other major markets include Australia, India, and Saudi Arabia, which make up roughly 20% of the company’s sales.

BAE Systems was formed in 1999 when British Aerospace, a manufacturer of aircraft, weapon systems, and naval systems, merged with Marconi Electronic Systems. In addition to Marconi, BAE in its current form is the successor to many aircraft, shipbuilding, armored vehicle, armament, and defense electronics companies, such as AV Roe, de Havilland, Hawker, British Aircraft Corporation, Fairfield Shipbuilding, and Vickers Shipbuilding & Engineering. Since the company’s formation, it has made many acquisitions, most notably the United Defense and Armor Holdings of the United States. The company is involved in a number of major defense projects, such as the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, the Eurofighter Typhoon, and the Astute-class submarine.
