Question: What company was the fifth-largest defense contractor in the world in 2015 and is part of the VITA working group?
Context: Iron Beam (Hebrew: קֶרֶן בַּרְזֶל‎ , "keren barzel ") is an air defense system which as of 2016 is in post-production development and upgrades by Israeli defense contractor Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.  Unveiled at the 2014 Singapore Air Show on February 11 and expected to enter service with the Israel Defense Forces in 2015, the system is designed to destroy short-range rockets, artillery, and mortars with a range of up to 7 km , too small for the Iron Dome system to intercept effectively.  In addition, the system could also intercept unmanned aerial vehicles. Iron Beam will use a "directed high energy laser beam" to destroy hostile targets with ranges of up to 7 km .  Iron Beam will constitute the fifth element of Israel's integrated air defense system, in addition to Arrow 2, Arrow 3, David's Sling, and Iron Dome.  However, Iron Beam is also a stand-alone system. EG&G, formally known as Edgerton, Germeshausen, and Grier, Inc., was a United States national defense contractor and provider of management and technical services.  The company was involved in contracting services to the United States government during World War II and conducted weapons research and development during the Cold war era (since 1948 onwards.)
