Defense aerospace logistics, maintenance, and training

V2X is a public company that provides mission-critical aerospace and defense support services.

V2X differentiates itself through strategic growth via acquisitions (notably Vertex Aerospace in 2018 and Raytheon’s defense training business in 2021, followed by a merger with Vectrus in 2022) to build a broad, integrated portfolio and scale its capabilities. Its goal is to be a leading, globally supported provider of defense and security solutions that keeps aviation assets ready and its clients prepared for mission requirements.
