context_page_description: BAE Systems Inc. is a subsidiary of British defence security, and aerospace company BAE Systems plc. The American unit operates under a Special Security Arrangement which allows it to work on some of the most sensitive United States defence programmes despite its foreign ownership. It employs approximately 30,000 workers within U.S. borders and several thousand more in Israel, South Africa, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Major business lines of BAE Systems Inc. include electronic warfare, sensing and communications equipment; armored vehicles, artillery systems; naval guns and naval ship repair; and cybersecurity and intelligence services.
  With annual revenues of $10 billion, BAE Systems Inc. contributes over a third of the parent company's global revenues and is typically ranked among the Pentagon's Top-10 suppliers. It operates under a Special Security Agreement with a separate board of directors from the London-based parent to assure the protection of sensitive information concerning the U.S. programs in which it is engaged. Because it consists largely of legacy American enterprises, BAE Systems Inc. has more involvement in such programs than any other foreign-owned company.

Such products include the Electronic warfare systems for the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II fighters, missile defence systems, countermeasures for both military and commercial aircraft and the HybriDrive propulsion system.
  BAE Systems Land & Armaments manufactures armoured combat vehicles, tactical wheeled vehicles, naval guns, missile launchers, artillery systems and munitions as well as providing support and upgrade of its products.
