Authored by Philip Finnegan , Teal Group's Defense & Aerospace Companies Briefing is an information service reporting on the activities of approximately 50 to 55 selected companies and federally funded research and development centers (for simplicity's sake, all will be referred to as "companies"). Each company has an individual report which is updated at least once during the course of a year. A supplement containing an average of four to eight reports is provided every month.
Inclusion in the Defense & Aerospace Companies Briefing is primarily determined by either the size or diversity of a company's revenue base. The idea is to cover not only the largest companies, but also those that are involved in a wide-range of major markets and sub-markets. A report may also be included by special request of a subscriber to this publication. The DACB analyst will decide on the merits of covering a particular company.
The Defense & Aerospace Companies Briefing focuses on US and major foreign companies, including major aerospace and defense prime contractors and subcontractors. Specific sectors covered include aircraft, space, ground systems, engines, missiles, avionics, shipbuilding, training, defense electronics, munitions and defense electronics. Each company's strategy and performance is analyzed with strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats outlined. Separate sections outline acquisitions, contracts, exports and the corporate structure.
The Defense & Aerospace Companies Briefing provides extensive analysis of individual companies focuses on US and major foreign companies. There is a mix of 65 percent US and 35 percent foreign reports. In addition to the US businesses, aerospace companies are covered from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, South Africa, Brazil, Singapore and Japan.
Also in the Defense & Aerospace Companies Briefing are appendices that give summary information on prime contract awards, including totals by contract type by company, individual awards by company/division, a summary listing of all awards announced by the Pentagon and a summary ranking of all awards by company.
