Note 21 - Segments
Aircraft Controls. We design, manufacture and integrate primary and secondary flight controls and avionics for
military and commercial aircraft and provide aftermarket support. Our systems are used on both development and
production programs in large commercial transports, supersonic fighters, multi-role military aircraft, business jets and
rotorcraft. We also supply ground-based navigation aids.
We are currently working on the KC-46 military air refueling tanker and classified military development work on the
military side, and the COMAC C919 and the Embraer E-Jet E2 family on the commercial side. Typically development
programs require concentrated periods of research and development by our engineering teams, while production
programs are generally long-term manufacturing efforts that extend for as long as the aircraft builder receives new
orders.
Our large military programs include the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor
and the Black Hawk UH-60/Seahawk SH-60 helicopter, while our large commercial production programs include the
full line of Boeing 7-series aircraft, Airbus A320, A330 and A350XWB and a variety of business jets.
Aftermarket sales, which represented 27%, 30% and 27% of 2021, 2020 and 2019 sales, respectively, for this
segment consist of the maintenance, repair, overhaul and parts supply for both military and commercial aircraft.
Further, we sell spare parts and line replaceable units to both military and commercial customers that they store
throughout the world in order to minimize down time.
Space and Defense Controls. We provide controls for a wide array of space and defense applications, including
spacecraft, space vehicles, launch vehicles, armored combat vehicles, naval vessels, security and surveillance, as
well as tactical, hypersonic, and strategic missiles.
We design, manufacture, and integrate steering and propulsion controls for space launch vehicles, hypersonic
missiles, and MDA vehicles. Programs of note include Atlas, Vulcan, SLS, LauncherOne, MMIII, Trident, and a variety
of other platforms. We have also developed a family of orbital maneuvering vehicles (OMV) and spacecraft bus
platforms that have their own avionics, power, propulsion, and communications systems. The Moog Evolved
Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA) is used as the structure of the OMV and has also enabled the rideshare market
for many years. Our spacecraft avionics are used for a variety of purposes and missions, including a complete flight
control computer, payload processing, and processing of discrete elements on board a spacecraft. Mission specific
actuation mechanisms control solar array panels and antenna, and we provide discrete isolation systems for sensitive
systems on spacecraft. Our propulsion and fluid control solutions accelerate the spacecraft for orbit-insertion, station
keeping, and attitude control. Our fluid control systems are also used in life support systems (ECLSS) for crewed
missions, such as Orion. We are an integral part of future human spaceflight and exploration, including NASA's
Artemis program.
We produce a new reconfigurable turret system (RIwP®) for several military vehicle programs. In addition, we design
controls for gun aiming, stabilization and automatic ammunition loading for armored combat vehicles for a variety of
domestic and international customers. We also design controls for steering tactical and strategic missiles including:
Lockheed Martin's HELLFIRE® and PAC-3 interceptor, the U.S. National Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) Ballistic
Missile Defense initiatives, multiple hypersonic missiles, as well as Raytheon's TOW, and Trident missiles. We also
design, build, and integrate weapons stores management systems for light attack aerial reconnaissance, ground, and
sea platforms. Our high-power, quiet controls are designed and built for many naval vessels including naval surface
ships and submarines such as the U.S. Virginia Class. Our sensor and surveillance products are used in both military
and commercial applications such as electrical grid and other critical infrastructure protection.
Also, we design and manufacture a number of component products that serve both the space and defense segments
by providing mission critical power and data transfer, motion control and military electronics. Slip rings allow
unimpeded rotation while delivering power and data through a rotating interface. Our motion control products include
high-performance motors, position feedback devices, actuators and integrated motion assemblies. The military
electronics include a range of media converters and Ethernet devices. Each of these components are used across a
broad range of applications which include military vehicles, aircraft, missiles, radar and satellites.
