We develop mission critical solutions for those that lead, serve and protect the world we live in.

About us

At General Dynamics Mission Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics, we develop mission critical C4ISR solutions across the land, sea, air, space and cyber domains, but that doesn’t tell our whole story. When downed pilots are isolated in enemy territory, our equipment gives them a lifeline to call home. When a student opens a textbook to learn about the universe, they’re looking at data and pictures sent using our technology. When the government needs to share crucial top-secret information, our products help them keep this information out of the wrong hands. When sailors need to locate underwater mines, our technology allows them to find explosives with unmanned underwater vehicles. Delivering C4ISR technology is what we do but we think why we do it is more important.

  • #AFANational | Last week our team wrapped up their time at the Air & Space Forces Association's Air, Space & Cyber Conference! As the battlespace becomes increasingly connected and contested, our focus remains on delivering an enduring information advantage. We had incredible conversations this week about securing mission-critical data from the tactical edge to orbit. A few highlights from our time on the exhibit floor included: 🔹 Demonstrating how TACDS® securely shares mission-critical data across security domains in contested environments for faster and more informed decisions. 🔹Highlighted how truMLS® streamlines and strengthens multilevel information sharing at varying security and access levels without compromising mission security. 🔹 Connecting the Edge: Highlighting tactical communication solutions like the URC-300®, the NGSR for isolated personnel, and the Quiver™ SDR for autonomous swarming. We were also proud to have our VP of Space & Embedded Cryptographic Solutions, Dan Feller, take the stage to share his insights on cyber resilience and mission assurance alongside fellow industry leaders. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth! Keep the conversation going at GDMissionSystems.com

  • As organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, legacy approaches to encryption can leave gaps across networks, creating risk for sensitive information, mission operations and the people who depend on them. Closing that gap calls for High Assurance encryption solutions built for the speed, scale, and complexity of today's connected environments. Read our latest article in the September issue of #SIGNALMagazine exploring why networks need a new generation of encryption and data protection. ⬇️

  • 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 // 𝐓𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐎𝐍, 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬. – General Dynamics Mission Systems announced recently that it was awarded a $230 million follow-on contract modification for delivery of Hammerhead Encapsulated Effector (HHEE) systems to the U.S. Navy. The Hammerhead mine system provides the U.S. Navy with a next-generation, anti-submarine weapon designed for deployment at intermediate and deep-water depths. "General Dynamics Mission Systems is proud to support the U.S. Navy's critical undersea warfare requirements," said Dr. Laura Hooks, vice president and general manager of the Maritime and Strategic Systems business at General Dynamics Mission Systems. "As maritime security challenges continue to evolve, the need for advanced mine systems has never been greater. The Hammerhead system represents a significant step forward in providing the fleet with an undersea capability that denies adversaries access across surface and subsurface domains. This contract reflects our commitment to delivering advanced, reliable capabilities that give our warfighters a decisive edge in complex and contested maritime environments," continued Hooks.
