General Dynamics builds warships, nuclear submarines, combat vehicles, and munitions for the U.S. military and allied governments, plus Gulfstream business jets for corporations and private owners. Gulfstream designs large, long-range jets and maintains them through its own service centers and completion shops. A separate technologies arm runs IT, cybersecurity, and command-and-control systems for defense and federal civilian agencies. The company earns its money from multiyear government contracts for ships, vehicles, and services, and the rest from selling and servicing jets.
