BAE Systems is the British defence, aerospace and security group that builds a large share of the military aircraft, armoured vehicles, warships and submarines used by the United Kingdom and many allied forces. It was formed on 30 November 1999 when British Aerospace merged with the defence electronics and naval shipbuilding business of Marconi Electronic Systems, and it carries forward a long line of earlier firms, among them A.V. Roe, de Havilland, Hawker Siddeley, Supermarine, Vickers and Yarrow. Its products in this atlas include the Hawk trainer, the Harrier II, the Typhoon fighter built with partners, combat vehicles and ships. The company is headquartered in London and is listed on the London Stock Exchange.
