Headquartered in Dulles, Virginia, Orbital ATK employs approximately 12,000 people in 18 states across the U.S. and in several international locations.

3 The Company Is Comprised of Three Operating Groups: Flight Systems Group Space Launch Vehicles Missile Defense Systems Rocket Propulsion Systems Aerospace Structures Defense Systems Group Missile Products Armament Systems Defense Electronic Systems Small Caliber Systems Space Systems Group Commercial Communications and Imaging Satellites Human Space and Advanced Systems Scientific and National Security Satellites Spacecraft Components and Technical Services

4 Flight Systems Group Orbital ATK s Flight Systems Group provides systems and products that span the space launch, strategic missile and missile defense, and aerospace structures markets. The group is the premier manufacturer of solid rocket propulsion systems and specialty energetics products; a leading provider of small- and medium-class space launch vehicles for civil, defense and commercial missions; a major supplier of interceptor boosters and target vehicles for missile defense; and a world-class manufacturer of composite primary and secondary structures for commercial and military aircraft and launch vehicles. Space Launch Vehicles Orbital ATK small-class, solid-propellant space launch vehicles are the industry standard for delivering lightweight payloads into orbit. Our air-launched Pegasus and ground-launched family of Minotaur rockets have launched more than 170 satellites in over 60 missions since Orbital ATK s Antares medium-class space launch vehicle is an integral element of the company s space logistics system that provides commercial cargo delivery services to the International Space Station for NASA, as well as launches for scientific, commercial and other suitably-sized spacecraft to Earth orbit. Missile Defense Systems Orbital ATK is an industry-leading provider of sophisticated suborbital launch vehicles for the nation s missile defense systems. In the last 10 years, we have conducted over 80 major launches for U.S. and allied countries missile defense programs. Orbital ATK is the sole provider of interceptor boosters for the U.S. Missile Defense Agency s Ground-based Midcourse Defense system designed to intercept and destroy long-range enemy missiles. The group is also a primary supplier of highly reliable target vehicles that serve as threat simulators to provide high-fidelity facsimiles of enemy missiles in the testing and verification of missile defense systems. Rocket Propulsion Systems Orbital ATK provides a wide range of reliable solid fuel rocket motors for both the company s own vehicles and for most other launch providers in government and commercial markets. For defense programs, the company produces propulsion systems for the Trident II D-5 and Minuteman III strategic missiles and the company s Ground-based Midcourse Defense interceptor and various missile defense target vehicles. Orbital ATK is also building the five-segment solid boosters for NASA s heavy-lift Space Launch System and the main launch-abort motor for its Orion crew capsule. Orbital ATK propulsion systems are employed in the company s Pegasus, Minotaur and Antares rockets as well as in other vehicles such as the Athena launch system and GEM boosters for the Delta II, Delta IV, and future Atlas V and Vulcan launch vehicles. Aerospace Structures Orbital ATK is a leading supplier in critical composite structures for the aerospace and defense industries. Employing advanced composite manufacturing technologies, the company produces highly-engineered, lightweight and reliable structures for commercial and military aircraft programs such as the Airbus A350, Boeing 787 and Lockheed Martin F-35 as well as for the ULA Delta and Atlas launch vehicles. These structures cover a wide range of physical sizes and service temperature requirements for some of the industry s most demanding applications.

7 Defense Systems Group Orbital ATK s Defense Systems Group is an industry leader in precision weapons, tactical rocket motors used in air-, sea- and land-based systems, missile-warning products, and ammunition and gun systems, serving America and our allies. The group is the largest U.S. producer of small-caliber ammunition, as well as a leading manufacturer of medium- and large-caliber ammunition and gun systems. In addition, the group develops advanced capabilities for missile-defense interceptors, fuzing and warheads, weaponized special-mission aircraft, and propulsion control systems. It also provides extensive experience and expertise in defense facility management, modernization and automation worldwide. Missile Products Orbital ATK is an industry leader in the development and production of propulsion and controls for air-, sea- and land-based tactical missiles and missile defense interceptors. The company also produces fuzing and warheads for both tactical missiles and munitions; builds precision metal and composite structures for medium- and large-caliber ammunition, military aircraft, ground vehicles, and missile systems; and manufactures propellants and powders for the canister and commercial markets. In addition, it has also pioneered hypersonic scramjet propulsion technology for aircraft and missile applications. Armament Systems Orbital ATK specializes in innovating low-cost, highly reliable and precise weapons and ammunition for artillery and mortar systems, medium-caliber weapons platforms, battle tanks and individual soldiers. The company is the world s top producer of medium-caliber live and training ammunition and gun systems, with more than 5 million units built in the last five years. Orbital ATK also is a pioneer in hardened electronics technologies used in weapon applications and produces precision guidance kits that employ a common technology base to transform conventional artillery and mortar munitions into precise, Global Positioning System (GPS)-guided weapons. Defense Electronic Systems Orbital ATK is a leading developer of next-generation strike weapon systems, missile-warning systems that include advanced hostile-fire detection, and aircraft survivability products. In addition, the company is a provider of special-mission aircraft integration and support, aerial targets and training systems. The company is the first to develop and deliver weaponized light gunships outfitted with medium-caliber cannons, in addition to ISR and other packages specified for each mission. Small Caliber Systems Orbital ATK is the world s leading producer of high-quality ammunition as the operator of the Lake City Army Armament Plant in Independence, Missouri. During the last five years, the company manufactured over 8 billion rounds of small-caliber ammunition for the U.S. military and other customers. The company is also a leader in the global defense-systems marketplace, supplying the U.S. government and its allies with high quality, cost-effective non-standard (non-nato) munitions through a worldwide network of suppliers.

8 Space Systems Group Orbital ATK s Space Systems Group is one of the world s preeminent satellite builders and advanced space systems providers, offering a broad portfolio of products for commercial, military, scientific and international customers.
