General Dynamics has leading market positions in shipbuilding and marine systems, land and amphibious combat systems, mission-critical information systems and technologies, and business aviation. The company is a leading supplier of sophisticated defense systems to the United States and its allies, and sets the world standard in business jets. It has four major business segments - Aerospace, Combat Systems, Information Systems and Technology, and Marine Systems.
