There are 30,000 of us, working at over 100 sites in the US, UK, Sweden and Israel. And our Rochester site is part of the Platform Solutions part of the EI&S business, a very important cog in a large, transatlantic wheel.

We serve the defence and aerospace and business communities with capabilities and products that improve operational safety and enhance mission effectiveness.

We support a wide range of military and commercial platforms. Our world-class technology is helping to redefine what an aircraft (and its pilot) can achieve. And our business is built on many years of competency and experience (you can trace our history back to Elliott Brothers who made flight instrumentation), giving us over 90 years of control and mission systems experience.

Four business areas

Working with our customers and suppliers, we aim to deliver effective systems and a through-life capability to meet the most challenging requirements in four business areas:
