Strategic Assessment
Strategic Vector
Boeing Defense, Space & Security is expanding toward high-volume missile-defense production, sixth-generation combat aircraft, autonomous systems, and upgraded legacy platforms. The strategy combines major U.S. defense-program wins with geographically concentrated industrial investment and international partnerships.
