General Dynamics
Global aerospace and defense company General Dynamics manufactures a wide range of products and services, ranging from Gulfstream business jets and combat vehicles to nuclear-powered submarines and communications systems. As of 2020, General Dynamics was the third-largest defense contractor in the U.S. by sales. Since the inception of the Fortune 500 list, General Dynamics has remained a mainstay. In March, the company continued its good fortune when it announced that Gulfstream Aerospace, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics, was awarded $696 million in defense contracts from the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center for engineering services support and contractor logistics for C-20 and C-37 aircraft.
