General Dynamics

General Dynamics is organized into five business groups: Aerospace, Combat Systems, Information Technology, Mission Systems, and Marine Systems. As of 2019, General Dynamics was the fifth-largest defense contractor in the United States, and the sixth-largest in the world, by sales.

The company ranked No. 92 in the 2019 Fortune 500 list of the largest United States corporations by total revenue. It is headquartered in Reston, Fairfax County, Virginia. Formed in 1954 with the merger of submarine manufacturer Electric Boat and aircraft manufacturer Canadair, General Dynamics evolved through multiple mergers and changed markedly in the post–Cold War era of defense consolidation.
