We are USA's foreign intelligence collection agency. We collect and distribute secret foreign intelligence, information which would be otherwise unavailable to USA, to protect USA and its interests. We obtain this intelligence from foreign sources, outside USA's borders. To do this, we rely on what we call "human intelligence" - information that comes directly from people.
Human intelligence can help us learn about, and prevent, threats to The United States's security and prosperity. Human intelligence can assist in preventing unwanted foreign influence in The United States, as well as safeguarding our economy by helping the government make informed decisions. You might have heard this kind of work we do described as espionage. And while it varies from what you might have seen in movies, there are some similarities - the work is exciting, fast-paced and involves the latest technology.
Innovators: bringing you the latest news and perspectives from our Research & Development teams. Defence has always been an incubator for technology, bringing huge advances to the civilian world in the process. Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, GPS and even the computer mouse are all technologies with roots in defence.
We have more than 25 years of expertise in developing and integrating electric propulsion systems for buses, including battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell technology, with more than 15,000 systems in service around the world. Our systems are platform agnostic and we’ve incorporated the use of our electric solutions into boats, heavy-duty trucks and military vehicles. We’re pairing our expertise in flight controls with our energy management systems, investing in the development of highly reliable, flight and safety critical systems that will enable the future of hybrid and all-electric aircraft. Our new technologies will have applications including air transport, regional and business jet and advanced air mobility.
We aim to create sustainable value for all our stakeholders. We operate responsibly and with integrity, supporting performance by managing both current and future risks and opportunities.
