BAE Systems was formed in 1999 after the $7.7 billion merger of two British powerhouse companies, Marconi Electronic Systems and British Aerospace. With the merger, BAE became the successor to many famous and monumental British aircraft and defense electronics products, including:
- The Comet: The World's First Commercial Jet Airliner
- The Harrier: The World's First Operational VTOL Aircraft
- The Blue Vixen Radar System
BAE Systems spans its business across five continents with customers and partners in more than 100 different countries. BAE has seven "home markets," which they list as being: Australia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States and India.
BAE Systems headquarters is located in Farmborough, Hampshire, England. They are the predominant supplier to the UK Ministry of Defence. In many countries, BAE Systems has a significant role in the production of military equipment and military aircraft. In the US, BAE sells more to the United States Department of Defense than they do to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence.
In 2008 BAE Systems became the largest defense contractor in the world. The British company retains its vision of being the premier global defense, security and aerospace company.
