Boeing plans to recast its Integrated Defense Systems business operation to focus on—wait for it—weapons capabilities rather than systems for military services or government agencies. It will drop from seven major business groups to three. The expected result: “reduced costs across the markets [Boeing] serves,” says Jim Albaugh, IDS president and CEO. The three capability areas are: Precision Engagement and Mobility Systems; Networks and Space Systems; and Support Systems.
The Air Force’s recruiting momentum is showing no signs of slowing in 2026, and leaders are already thinking about how they might get after even bigger goals in 2027 and beyond.
