Every day, our defense and commercial customers come to us with challenges that demand world-class engineering, insightful program management, advanced manufacturing expertise, and a passion for defying the impossible. Our customers turn to Electronic Systems for novel solutions to their most complex problems, and we are proud to deliver.

• We helped pioneer home video games, now a trillion-dollar industry. 
• We manufacture computer chips found in all of the major satellites and space vehicles 
• We invented the head-up display that can be found in aircraft and newer cars 
• One of our legacy companies invented the radio 
• We invented the sonar buoy and are leaders in underwater detection 
• Before there were drones, we were building the controls in unmanned aircraft 
•  We have more than 19,000 electric propulsion systems operating in transit buses, military, and industrial vehicles across the globe 
• We mapped the moon for NASA during the Apollo missions 
• Our Electronic Systems sector employs over 1,900 U.S. military veterans 
• Our company and employees have supported the nonprofit FIRST® for over 30 years to help inspire students to pursue STEM careers. 
• We fund national and local nonprofits that align with our mission areas (STEM and military/veterans) and also address critical community needs. Our employees deepen our collective impact by volunteering with these nonprofits in BAE Systems communities nationwide. 

In addition to producing technological innovation with military-grade resilience, our Electronic Systems sector is home to more than 22,000 talented people worldwide who excel at taking on challenges that support our armed forces in the field; millions of people traveling by air, land, and sea; and our communities and education systems at home.
