Boeing (NYSE: BA) will overhaul the firm’s military-focused aircraft division, Boeing Military Aircraft (BMA), in an effort to keep the program growing.
The operation will be reformed from six divisions to four.
According to the firm, “the four new divisions are Global Strike, based in St. Louis, to be led by Shelley Lavender; Mobility, based in Ridley Park, Pa., to be led by Jean Chamberlin; Surveillance and Engagement, based in Seattle, to be led by Bob Feldmann; and Missiles and Unmanned Airborne Systems, based in St. Charles, Mo., to be led by Debbie Rub.”
Boeing Military Aircraft President Chris Chadwick said the improved setup will benefit BMA in the domestic and global markets well into the future.
“This new structure supports BMA’s progression from a product-based business to a capabilities-based business, focusing on supporting our customers in the United States and increasingly important international markets, ” Chadwick said. “It is consistent with initiatives under way throughout the entire Boeing defense business that will allow us to remain competitive and grow.
