The growth of the Aerospace and Defense industry depends largely on the spending outlook of government departments, with the U.S. defense budget being the primary driver. The industry largely depends on U.S. government contracts. Given the uncertain macroeconomic environment, not just in the U.S. but also globally, the industry faces the risk of fewer new orders as customers are more likely to postpone or cancel contractual orders and/or payments. Defense spending is the major source of revenue for the top nine global aerospace and defense companies, with the US accounting for more than 40% of total global defense spending. However, with the U.S. government expected to institute greater austerity in its ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[French conglomerate Dassault Group’s Rafale combat jet emerged as the lowest bidder for the multi-billion contract for the Indian Air Force. The $10.4 billion deal is for supplying 126 medium multi-role combat aircraft to the Indian Air Force (‘IAF’). The order heralded Rafale’s entry into the export market. Rafale’s entry into the export market is a major bad news for the beleaguered U.S. defense contractors who are looking offshore to compensate for the Pentagon’s planned axing of almost $1 trillion in budget cuts over the next decade. Although defense primes have mostly reported upbeat numbers for fiscal 2011, we are concerned about future growth in order backlogs from domestic programs. Rafale emerged the winner beating five contenders and arch-rival Eurofighter Typhoon. Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine, canard-delta wing, multi-role fighter. ]]></description>

Concurrently, the Air Force also exercised a contract option and Raytheon received a $5 million order to convert Lot 4 MALD production of the baseline to the MALD-J variant. MALD is a high-tech, low-cost flight vehicle that is modular, air-launched and programmable. It weighs less than 300 pounds and has a range of approximately 500 nautical miles. The variant protects aircrews and their aircraft by duplicating the combat flight profiles and signatures of U.S. and allied aircraft that confuses enemy air defenses. MALD-J will help in saving the lives of aviators as the commanders will be able to use MALD-J to conduct dangerous stand-in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The growth of the Aerospace and Defense industry depends largely on the spending outlook of government departments, with the U.S. defense budget being the primary driver. The U.S. is the world’s largest aerospace and defense market, and also home to the world’s largest military budget. In 2010, the total global defense expenditure of $1.6 trillion grew 1.3% from 2009 levels in real terms. The majority of this growth came from the U.S. Defense spending, which was $698 billion in 2010, accounting for roughly 43% of the global total. The U.S. defense budget for 2011 is $670.8 billion, out of which the base budget comprises $513 billion with another $157.8 billion approved as supplementary defense spending mainly to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Given the growing debate over deficits ]]></description>

Quarterly adjusted (excluding special charges) earnings per share (EPS) of $1.24 surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. In after-market trade on NYSE, Harris’ shares jumped $3.02 (7.95%) to $41.00 mainly fueled by the increase in the dividend rate and a new share repurchase authorization worth $1 billion. Reported GAAP net income in the quarter was $133.5 million or $1.06 per share compared with $151.4 million or $1.16 per share in the year-ago quarter. This was mainly due to higher cost of production and the slowdown in the U.S. defense expenditure. Consolidated revenue in the reported quarter was $1,667.4 million, up 14.5% year over year and was also above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Raytheon Company (RTN) has received a $36.0 million contract from the U.S. Army for the final phase of the Excalibur Ib development program. With this final phase, the program will complete its warfighter tests and Excalibur Ib will also qualify for fielding. The Excalibur Ib is a long-range, precision-guided artillery projectile based on Raytheon&#8217;s combat-proven Excalibur Ia. It has a non-spinning fixed base, and requires simpler manufacturing than Excalibur Ia that increases reliability and significantly reduces cost. Historically, Excalibur is the world&#8217;s only deployed extended-range GPS-guided artillery round, and has been fired more than 300 times in theater since its early fielding in 2007. Excalibur Ib was designed to fulfill the needs of the warfighter incorporating a reprogramming port that makes it possible for the warfighter to modify the performance ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) has received a contract from the U.S. Army to assist the efforts of the coalition forces in Afghanistan by producing 29 additional Persistent Threat Detection Systems (‘PTDS’). The contract is valued at $184.3 million. PDTS is a helium filled aerostat, which is a highly effective, cost efficient surveillance and communication system for the Army as it supports force-protection and counter-IED (improvised explosive devices) missions. The U.S. Army has reaped the benefits of the PTDS since 2004 given its reliability in assisting troops on missions that require real-time surveillance and valuable intelligence information. Lockheed received the previous contract for PTDS production from the U.S. Army  in June 2010. The deal was then worth $142 million.

The construction will come up on the U.S. Army&#8217;s Redstone Arsenal site. Raytheon said it will construct the 70,000 square-foot production facility in two phases; each phase will be tied to SM-3 and SM-6 production contracts. Raytheon&#8217;s SM-3 is the centerpiece of the nation&#8217;s new missile defense strategy in Europe, and SM-6 will give the U.S. Navy a new, much-needed weapon system. SM-3 is being developed as part of the MDA&#8217;s sea-based Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system. The missiles are deployed on U.S. Navy cruisers and destroyers and Japanese destroyers to defend against short- to intermediate-range ballistic missile threats in the ascent and midcourse phases of the flight.

		<description><![CDATA[Rockwell Collins Inc. (COL) said it has decided upon selling its Rollmet product line to Precision Castparts Corp. (PCP). The company’s decision to sell the Rollmet business stems from its inclination to have a better focus on the core markets, leading to stronger growth. The Rollmet business provides seamless alloy and stainless steel pipes and propulsion system components for the energy, petrochemical and defense industries. Rockwell is of the opinion that the sale would also enhance Rollmet’s position as it will now be better aligned with its end-markets. The company expects the sale to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, pending customary closing conditions. Separately, Rockwell Collins announced that it expects to release its fiscal third quarter 2011 results on Friday, July 22, 2011. In second quarter 2011, ]]></description>

Third Quarter Highlights Consolidated revenue in the third quarter of 2011 was $1,413.3 million, which failed to beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,514.0 million but improved 6.3% year over year. The year-over-year revenue growth was primarily due to strong contribution from the Integrated Network Solution segment, slightly offset by the slowdown in the U.S. defense expenditure. Total orders generated in the third quarter were $1.55 billion compared with $1.45 billion in the prior-year quarter. Reported GAAP net income in the quarter was $140 million or $1.09 per share compared with a net income of $166 million or $1.26 per share in the year-ago quarter, however, quarterly adjusted ]]></description>
