From service to mission: why every Day is hire-a-veteran day at General Dynamics Mission Systems. CHANTILLY, Va. - Earlier this July, General Dynamics Mission Systems was named one of the 2026 Top Veteran Employers by United States Veterans Magazine, an honor that recognizes organizations going above and beyond in recruiting, hiring and supporting veterans in the workplace. Starting in 2017, National Hire a Veteran Day is observed each year on July 25. Encouraging employers to recruit, hire and support military veterans transitioning to civilian careers. When it comes to hiring veterans at General Dynamics Mission Systems, the company sees it as a strategic advantage and a natural extension of its core mission. "Every veteran who walks through the doors of General Dynamics Mission Systems brings with them something no resume can fully capture: a firsthand understanding of what's at stake with our warfighters," says Richard Moore, Military Programs Lead at General Dynamics Mission Systems. "We do it because veterans make us stronger and better at what we do, and what we do matters deeply to the people still out there in the field." Richard knows the journey. Richard's path to General Dynamics Mission Systems was not a straight line - it was a nearly two-decade journey that most people would have walked away from long before the finish line. He initially served in the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy from September 1992 to September 1996. His first military transition was rough. In just one year, he held eight different positions. By number seven, he knew he had to make a decision - he re-enlisted in the Army in September 1997. When he transitioned out 'for good' in April 2000, he knew what the pitfalls looked like, and he was not going to repeat them. Originally planning to return to his hometown in Ohio, Richard ended up putting down roots in Virginia instead - and somewhere along the way, a new mission took shape. He wanted to make sure every veteran coming home had a real shot at meaningful employment, because he knew firsthand that a real shot was not always easy to come by. After transitioning out of the Army and many applications later, he received an offer from General Dynamics Mission System, and accepted without hesitation. Now, Richard is doing for others what no one did for him - making sure veterans know they are not alone and giving them the guidance to find their way to a career worth fighting for. General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. support the warfighter every day. At General Dynamics Mission Systems, the connection to the warfighter is not just a tagline. From advanced communications systems to mission-critical command and control platforms, the company's work directly supports the men and women in uniform who defend the nation every day. "Our veterans understand our customers in a way that is incredibly rare," Richard explains. "They've lived it. They've relied on the very kinds of systems we build. That perspective is invaluable and it drives everything we do here." For veteran employees, that sense of purpose is one of the most compelling reasons to make the transition to General Dynamics Mission Systems. The mission doesn't end when the uniform comes off - it simply evolves. Bridging the gap through the SkillBridge program. One of the most impactful tools General Dynamics Mission Systems uses to connect with transitioning service members is its partnership with the SkillBridge program. SkillBridge allows active-duty service members to gain real-world civilian work experience with participating employers during the final period of their military service - before the transition is even complete. "SkillBridge has been a game changer for us," says Moore. "It allows service members to get their feet on the ground here, understand our culture and see firsthand how their skills translate. And for us, it's an opportunity to show them that this is a place where they can thrive." Many General Dynamics Mission Systems SkillBridge participants have gone on to become full-time employees - a testament to the strength of the program and the talent it attracts. The veteran journey. Perhaps no one captures that spirit better than Peter Pahules, an engineer in Scottsdale, Arizona who served on active duty with the U.S. Air Force from 1978 to 1986 and then as an Arizona Army National Guard Artilleryman from 1988 to 1992. For Peter, the uniform and the engineering career were never two separate chapters. "My military service and my engineering career are one continuous mission," he says. "The values instilled in me through my time in the U.S. Army - dedication, integrity and an unwavering commitment to those who serve - are the very same values that drive me every day as an engineer at General Dynamics." As a proud member of the General Dynamics Mission Systems Veteran Employee Resource Group, Peter sees his work not as a job but as a continuation of service. "Serving this nation did not end when I took off the uniform," he says. "It simply evolved. And I could not be prouder to continue that service here." An open invitation. General Dynamics Mission Systems extends an open invitation to transitioning service members and veterans everywhere to explore what the company has to offer. "To any veteran out there wondering what comes next - we see you, we value you and we have a place for you here," Moore says. "Your service has prepared you for exactly this kind of work."

General Dynamics displays ENVOY tandem rotor UAV with LMM. * 22 Jul 2026, 15:54 General Dynamics is displaying ENVOY tandem-rotor armed UAV fitted with Thales LMM missiles at the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow. General Dynamics Mission Systems put the ENVOY tandem-rotor UAV based on Laflamme LX300 on display with the multirole LMM (Martlet) missiles from Thales during FIA2026. The LMM missiles are mounted with twin-tube racks. ENVOY is a collaboration between General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS) and Laflamme, which previously developed the RUAV platform as LX300. ENVOY can carry a payload of up to 180 kg, including weaponry, sensors, and utility payloads. The tandem rotor configuration well known with the CH-47 Chinook cargo helicopter has the advantage of maximising useful internal volume by forgoing the tail rotor as the contra-rotating blades balance the torque. LMM is a prominent missile in the UK service as a dual-purpose weapon that can engage small surface targets and low-flying aircraft. The missile's small frame and light weight allow it to be carried by UAVs, helicopters, and remote-controlled weapon stations. The missile, with a range of six kilometres and a peak speed of Mach 1.5, uses laser beam riding guidance also present on the Starstreak air defence missile (Another prominent tactical missile in use by the UK). The guidance method mainly has the advantage of resistance against flares and jamming, as a laser beam steers the missile towards the target rather than the target's heat or radar signature.
