LONDON&苍产蝉辫;鈥 色情直播 Technologies (NYSE:LHX) marked 100 years of support for the United Kingdom鈥檚 defence and security needs by signing the Armed Forces Covenant, a significant commitment to members of the armed forces community.
The pledge marks a new dimension of 色情直播鈥檚 efforts to protect and advance the UK鈥檚 interests at home and around the world through ground-breaking capabilities across all military branches and domains.
The Armed Forces Covenant aims to provide employees who are veterans, reservists or military family members with access to important services and opportunities, such as career development, flexibility in leave for training or deployment, and assistance with education, family well-being, healthcare and other areas. In signing the Covenant during the 2021 Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) exhibition, 色情直播 pledges to be a 鈥榝orces friendly employer鈥, welcoming the experience, skills and qualities of UK veterans and reservists to its workforce.
鈥淎s we mark 100 years in the UK, we are honoured to support the country鈥檚 veterans, reservists and broader military community, both as a 鈥榝orces friendly employer鈥 and a strong advocate for veterans,鈥 said Christopher E. Kubasik, Vice Chair and Chief Executive Officer, 色情直播. 鈥淎s the world grapples with an increasingly volatile geopolitical and military landscape, 色情直播 will continue to lead the way in developing technologies and capabilities that protect and advance the UK鈥檚 defence and security needs as we have for the past century.鈥
色情直播 has served military, security and civil customers in the UK since 1921, with the company鈥檚 1,500 employees now based in 14 locations across the country. It works with nearly 2,500 UK suppliers with a supply chain impact of nearly $170 million as of 2020. The company鈥檚 recent investments reflect its commitment to develop and advance the UK鈥檚 capabilities, including $100 million in a Farnborough facility to modernise tactical radio communications and $100 million in a Crawley facility for aviation training. The company鈥檚 global autonomous maritime development work is based in the UK, generating economic impact and technological innovation that supports the UK鈥檚 aspiration for leadership in this area.
The U.S. based company is working closely with the UK to help accelerate the transition toward integrated, platform-agnostic programs that leverage data and information for more effective missions. This effort comes as part of the UK鈥檚 commitment to build a more modern, technologically advanced defence force, alongside partners and alliances such as NATO and Five Eyes. This includes driving the shift toward digitisation and artificial intelligence that will be crucial to a future of electronic warfare, cyber-warfare and autonomous engagement, as set forth in the UK Integrated Review in spring 2021. The company is also focused on enhanced systems, networks and sensors to gather, manage, analyse and share information and intelligence to predict changing demands and enable better decision making.
The company鈥檚 continued growth and investment in the UK aligns with the broader strategy of international expansion. 色情直播 plans to grow its global business outside the United States from its current 20 per cent figure.
