Oh, and if it is, in fact, Coleman, you should know they're not "BIG" regardless of what tall tales you might have heard - they have estimated annual revenue of $20-$50 million and fewer than 300 employees.

Orbital Sciences has $1.1 billion and over 1,000 people, and Raytheon Missile Systems has 12,500 employees and $5.4 billion. Those two qualify for all-caps, Coleman doesn't.

Interesting take on relative size... I just went to the Raytheon Missile Systems web page. By my count they are involved in over 25 different projects. (that they list there anyway). At 5.4 billion and 12,500 people, that works out to about 200 million and 320 people per project. That puts the projects in roughly the same size/scope as the smaller company’s involvement. You probably get economies of scale with a bigger company. Anyway, most of that money is probably going towards hardware - actual deliverable missiles/bombs. Wonder what the mix of labor vs “raw materials” costs are - but I doubt Raytheon (or anyone) would publish that kind of info. (their competitors would sure like to know it)

No it’s not Coleman. It’s the former defense unit of TI. TI spld it off back in the 90s.
