About the Company

V2X

Defense aerospace logistics, maintenance, and training

V2X is a public company that provides mission-critical aerospace and defense support services. Its offerings include logistics, maintenance, supply chain management, and training for military and government aircraft, ensuring operators stay mission-ready. The company works by delivering end-to-end aftermarket support—spares, repairs, logistics planning, and training programs—through a global network and contracts with national security agencies, notably the U.S. Department of Defense. 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.
