Inside this issue of All Systems
Go you will learn more about Boeing Integrated Defense Systems
and how we have aligned our capabilities, technologies and resources
to serve your needs and requirements. As the front-page illustration
indicates, we have organized to address the full spectrum of
our customers’ requirements.
As an industry we are in the midst of sweeping change, driven by
the ability to link together disparate networks of information,
distill information into knowledge, and make decisions or take
action based upon that knowledge. Operating within a networked
environment has a dramatic effect on our ability to defend our
nation and its allies; provide for the security of the traveling
public; continuously operate an orbiting, life- and earth-sciences
laboratory; and run our businesses.
Throughout this magazine, you will learn more about the changes
within our businesses and our successes in 2002, which have helped
Boeing Integrated Defense Systems grow by 9.4 percent and maintain
its positions as a top contractor for the U.S. Department of Defense,
as NASA’s No. 1 contractor, and as a leader in intelligence
and space. You also will learn about our nine customer-facing businesses
and how they are focusing on partnerships with you and the best
of industry to develop capability-driven solutions for your most
complex problems.
We hope you will find that the information in this quarterly magazine
is helpful and informative. This magazine is a resource for you,
and we welcome your comments and suggestions, especially for future
articles. Please send us a note with your thoughts via e-mail to
