INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

Integrated Defense Systems

Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) had third quarter 2014 net sales of $1,428 million compared to $1,603 million in the third quarter 2013. The change in net sales was primarily due to the scheduled completion of production phases on certain international Patriot programs.

IDS recorded $230 million of operating income compared to $286 million in the third quarter 2013. The change in operating income was primarily driven by a change in program mix and lower volume.

During the quarter, IDS booked $301 million on the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) program for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). IDS also booked $212 million to provide radar digital processors for the Patriot system to the U.S. Army and international customers, $160 million to provide Patriot Guidance Enhanced Missile-Tactical (GEM-T) missiles for an international customer, $130 million on the All Electronic Tolling System (AETS) for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), $109 million to provide Patriot engineering services support for U.S. and international customers, $105 million on the Wide Area Augmentation System Dual Frequency Operations (WAAS DFO) program for the FAA, and $91 million to provide Patriot technical and logistics support for Taiwan.

As previously announced on October 6, 2014, IDS was awarded $19.5 million for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase of the Three Dimensional Expeditionary Long Range Radar (3DELRR)for the U.S. Air Force. The contract includes options that could bring the cumulative value of this award to $71.8 million. 3DELRR is one of the first programs under the DoD's Better Buying Power initiative to be designed for exportability, enabling U.S. forces, allies and security partners to benefit from the system. This award was protested on October 21, 2014.

IIS recorded $125 million of operating income compared to $134 million in the third quarter 2013. The change in operating income was primarily driven by higher net program efficiencies in the third quarter 2013.

Missile Systems

Missile Systems (MS) had third quarter 2014 net sales of $1,477 million compared to $1,635 million in the third quarter 2013.

During the quarter, SAS booked $138 million to provide radar subsystems for the U.S. Navy.
