Overview

General Dynamics is an American defence and aerospace group whose predecessor built submarines from 1899, and it is unusual among primes for owning a large commercial business alongside its military ones. Its four segments are Marine Systems, which builds Virginia and Columbia class submarines and Navy destroyers, Combat Systems, which makes the Abrams tank and armoured vehicles, Aerospace, which builds Gulfstream business jets, and Technologies, its government IT and mission services arm. Headquartered in Reston, Virginia and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, its submarine programmes carry a backlog measured in decades.

Products

Mission Systems
Communications, computing and electronic systems for military platforms. These are fitted across ships, vehicles and aircraft, including a great many platforms that the group does not itself build or maintain.
gd.com
General Dynamics IT
Government technology and mission services delivered largely by cleared staff. It competes for federal contracts against pure services firms carrying much lower overhead structures than a defence prime does.
gd.com
Combat Systems
Abrams tanks, Stryker vehicles, artillery systems and munitions. European rearmament and ammunition consumption in Ukraine have revived a segment that had been steadily shrinking for the previous decade.
gd.com
Gulfstream Aerospace
Large business jets sold to corporations, individuals and governments. It is a genuinely commercial business inside a defence group, and its cycle follows corporate profits rather than defence budgets.
gd.com
Marine Systems
Construction of nuclear submarines and Navy surface combatants at Electric Boat and Bath Iron Works. The submarine programmes have a backlog measured in decades, and the binding constraint is shipyard capacity and welders rather than orders.
