At BAE Systems – Military Air Solutions, we’re responsible for producing some of the most advanced military aircraft the world has ever seen. Like the F-35 Lightning II – the first (and currently only) stealthy supersonic, multi-role fighter plane. And the Herti family of Unmanned Air Vehicles, which can soar thousands of feet in the air and take thermal images of the terrain below – all without a pilot on board.
As a group, we have a hand in every stage of an aircraft’s development. This starts with an initial brief and carries on through a variety of design, build and test stages, before we deliver the final product. That level of involvement means we can boast a wide range of capabilities, including systems integration, manufacturing, and repair and upgrade. We’ve even produced a number of military training programmes. Our customer base spans more than 30 countries worldwide. And we currently employ around 10,000 people.
Due to ongoing development activities and expanding in-service support demands on programmes, there is a growing, long-term need for Airworthiness skills.
