PROFILE |
 |
You wouldn't want to hold a candle to Alliant Techsystems, maker of gunpowder, smart bombs, and rocket propulsion systems. The company's core products include aerospace, munitions, and defense systems. Already a leader in the production of solid propulsion rocket motors, it builds motors for space launch vehicles such as the Trident II and the Delta II and is buying Alcoa's Thiokol Propulsion unit. Alliant Techsystems is the top supplier of ammunition (which ranges from small-caliber rounds to tank ammunition) to the US; it also makes GPS electronic subsystems, aircraft weapons systems, and other high-tech components. The US government and its contractors account for about two-thirds of the company's sales.
