Our Legacy

More Than a Half Century of Great People and Technology

For more than 55 years, patriots at Leonardo DRS have created a distinct technology edge for American troops in the U.S. and around the world. Since the company’s founding in 1969, tens of thousands of employees have perfected their craft each day with one unifying purpose in mind: to help defend those who defend all Americans and our allies.

Our legacy is defined by our people — their talent, sense of purpose, and commitment to supplying the warfighter with the best technology. By helping the Navy sail fast and quiet, making the Army and Marine Corps more lethal, connected and protected, and preparing the Air Force to confront a range of threats, the people of Leonardo DRS from one generation to the next have given American warfighters a critical technology edge.
