 PROFILE
Defense contractor General Dynamics brings it on by land, air, and sea. The company operates in four areas: marine (warships and nuclear submarines), aerospace (business jets), information systems and technology (command and control systems), and combat systems (tanks, amphibious assault vehicles, and weaponry). General Dynamics' Electric Boat subsidiary builds Seawolf attack subs; Bath Iron Works builds DDG 51 destroyers; Land Systems builds the M1 tank; and Gulfstream Aerospace makes business jets. To combat the cyclical nature of the defense industry, General Dynamics has branched into commercial markets and is adding munitions operations. The company is also attempting to acquire rival Newport News Shipbuilding.
