Novakovic won a steady stream of contracts this year, including a $5 billion agreement to build the latest class of nuclear-armed submarines. But with the Pentagon poised to boost broader defense spending, General Dynamics is also looking beyond hardware for growth. The company did its biggest M&A deal ever in 2018, acquiring IT services firm CSRA for $9.6 billion—which, combined with GD’s existing business, makes the company the nation’s second-largest IT contractor.
