BAE Systems, Inc. is focused on safeguarding the health and wellbeing of our more than 35,000 employees, their families, and our local communities. Teams across our business are responding to and planning for the impacts of COVID-19 as we carry out our mission essential work in support of national security, the men and women of the U.S. military and its allied nations, and the critical transportation infrastructure of our nation.

To support social distancing, we have asked employees who are able to work remotely to do so. Given the critical nature of what we do and the technologies required, not all of our work can be done from home. For those employees who come to work in our facilities, we've put in place measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including enhanced cleaning procedures and various forms of social distancing. We will continue to monitor guidance from governmental and health authorities and update our procedures accordingly.

We are also working with the government to assess whether any of our manufacturing capabilities, facilities, or certifications could help supplement required work in the medical equipment supply chain to produce critical products for our nation's frontline health workers.

During this challenging time, we are grateful to our employees and suppliers for all that they do in support of each other and our customers.
