BAE Systems plc is a British multinational defense, security, and aerospace company. The company is based in London, United Kingdom, and has operations worldwide. BAE Systems is the largest defense contractor in Europe, and among the world’s largest defense contractors. In 2017, the company ranked third in terms of applicable revenues.

Other major markets include Australia, India, and Saudi Arabia, which make up roughly one-fifth of BAE’s sales. The company was founded in 1999 when British Aerospace, a manufacturer of aircraft, munitions, and naval systems, purchased Marconi Electronic Systems.

Since the company’s formation, BAE Systems has made a number of acquisitions, most notably of United Defense and Armor Holdings of the United States. BAE Systems has also sold its shares in Airbus, Astrium, AMS, and Atlas Elektronik.
