Defense

Empowering warfighters, protecting nations and advancing global security 

Built to defend

We empower the people who stand ready to defend and protect — by building resilient, flexible and interoperable systems that enable global control, reach and strike.
Our integrated, mission‑ready capabilities give warfighters a decisive advantage, safeguard nations and strengthen alliances. By fusing cutting‑edge technology with operational insight, we enable rapid, secure collaboration across domains — increasing survivability and accelerating decision-making to outpace emerging threats. 
Working shoulder‑to‑shoulder with customers, allies and industry, we combine advanced technology, operational experience and mission‑tested discipline to create an adaptable family of systems that evolves ahead of needs. The outcome: a trusted, enduring edge — forces that arrive ready, act decisively and protect nations today and for generations to come.

Autonomous and Unmanned Systems

We’re bringing advanced autonomy, resilient systems and disciplined engineering together to extend human reach while reducing risk to warfighters. By fusing reliable, human-operated AI technology, secure communications and scalable mission architectures, we create persistent, intelligent platforms that can operate collaboratively alongside crewed systems to sense faster, decide smarter, and act with precision in contested environments. These innovations aren’t just technological feats — they’re commitments to mission effectiveness, allied interoperability, and the safety of the people who serve, ensuring that when challenges arise, our partners have responsive, reliable tools built on a foundation of rigorous testing and design, and decades of aerospace expertise.

Fighters and Bombers

We have a long history of designing and delivering aircraft that give commanders and warfighters the advantage when the stakes are highest — including the new, 6th-generation F-47 stealth fighter, which will dominate the battlespace for decades to come. From long-range platforms that stop threats to agile fighters that dominate contested skies and advanced trainers that accelerate pilot readiness, our systems enable bold action and mission success. Each aircraft and capability is forged for endurance, precision and survivability — multiplying reach, delivering overmatch, and protecting the people who fly and fight. Built with open mission architectures, rugged sustainment and human-centered design, these capabilities ensure allies can deter, respond and prevail with confidence.

Military Rotorcraft

Trusted and sought after by the United States Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and allied defense forces spanning more than 20 countries across the globe, Boeing has redefined the boundaries of technology, capability and sustainability to ensure the production and delivery of reliable, maintainable and mission-ready rotorcraft.

We have adapted our proven multi-mission rotorcraft to effectively address current missions while preparing for future challenges – and continue to make innovation a priority.

We are dedicated to improving our capabilities to support our platforms, including manned and unmanned teaming requirements, as well as developing new rotorcraft concepts. Our forecasts take into account future needs and emerging trends, allowing us to provide comprehensive solutions that meet the diverse requirements of our global customers.

Tankers and Transports

Anytime. Anywhere. When nations must move, refuel, protect leaders or surge forces across oceans and theaters, our airlift and tanker capabilities make those missions possible. We deliver secure presidential and head-of-state transport solutions, reliable aerial refueling — including unmanned refueling integrations that extend sorties and tempo — and robust strategic and theater airlift capabilities that move troops, equipment and critical cargo where and when needed. These systems enable persistent presence, rapid humanitarian response, seamless coalition operations, and resilient sustainment in contested environments.

Patrol, Early Warning and Battle Management

Boeing’s integrated family of systems empowers allied nations to detect and identify threats, link forces across domains, and orchestrate decisive action to keep missions one step ahead. Our long-endurance maritime patrol capabilities deliver multimission surveillance over sea and littoral zones — hunting enemy submarines, tracking surface contacts, and providing persistent intelligence. And our airborne early warning and battle management capabilities arm warfighters with high-fidelity sensing and resilient beyond-line-of-sight communications, fuse data in real time, and command forces with precision.

Together, these systems connect with other multidomain platforms across the battlespace to form a seamless network of detection, connectivity and command, enabling commanders to anticipate risk, synchronize responses, and secure the mission with confidence.

Weapon Systems

Boeing’s precision-guided munitions, layered air and missile defense, and strategic deterrent capabilities give operators advanced, integrated solutions to meet global defense and security needs today and tomorrow — ranging from affordable mass and maritime strike to protection against sophisticated drone and advanced missile threats.

We understand our customers and the environments they operate in, and we are committed to keeping them safe and enabling mission success.
