The company is organized into two primary operating segments: Advanced Sensing and Computing (ASC) and Integrated Mission Systems (IMS)[21](index=21&type=chunk) - The Advanced Sensing and Computing (ASC) segment focuses on technologies for situational awareness, including advanced sensors (EO/IR, SIGINT, EW, radar) and rugged network computing for battle management and command and control[22](index=22&type=chunk)[23](index=23&type=chunk)[24](index=24&type=chunk) - The Integrated Mission Systems (IMS) segment specializes in power conversion, ship propulsion systems (notably for the Columbia Class submarine), force protection systems (like C-UAS), and transportation/logistics systems[25](index=25&type=chunk)[26](index=26&type=chunk)[29](index=29&type=chunk) Revenue by Customer (2022) | Customer Group | Percentage of Total Revenue (2022) | | :--- | :--- | | U.S. Government (Total) | 84% | | - U.S. Army | 37% | | - U.S. Navy | 32% | | - U.S. Air Force | 5% | | - Other DoD Agencies | 10% | | Foreign Governments & Commercial | 16% | Revenue by Contract Type | Contract Type | 2022 ($M) | 2021 ($M) | 2020 ($M) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Firm fixed price | $2,347 | $2,498 | $2,408 | | Flexibly priced | $346 | $381 | $370 | Backlog Summary | Backlog Type | 2022 ($M) | 2021 ($M) | 2020 ($M) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Funded | $2,783 | $2,510 | $2,847 | | Unfunded | $1,486 | $351 | $444 | | **Total Backlog** | **$4,269** | **$2,861** | **$3,291** | Company-Funded R&D Expenses | Year | Amount ($M) | | :--- | :--- | | 2022 | $58 | | 2021 | $48 | | 2020 | $41 | - Key strategic activities in 2022 include the merger with RADA Electronic Industries Ltd., the sale of the Global Enterprise Solutions (GES) business, and the divestiture of its interest in Advanced Acoustic Concepts LLC[58](index=58&type=chunk)[59](index=59&type=chunk)[60](index=60&type=chunk) - Due to its majority ownership by Leonardo S.p.A., the company operates under a proxy agreement with the DoD to mitigate Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) and maintain security clearances for classified programs[68](index=68&type=chunk) [Risk Factors](index=15&type=page&id=Item%201A.%20Risk%20Factors) The company faces significant risks from U.S. defense spending dependence, fixed-price contract exposure, stringent government regulations including FOCI, supply chain disruptions, and potential conflicts of interest with its majority stockholder - The company is heavily dependent on U.S. government contracts, which accounted for approximately **84%**, **86%**, and **84%** of total revenues in 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, where reductions in defense spending could materially impact the business[104](index=104&type=chunk)[105](index=105&type=chunk) - A significant portion of revenue (approximately **87%** for 2020-2022) comes from fixed-price contracts, which carry the risk of cost overruns and reduced profitability if costs are not accurately estimated or controlled[108](index=108&type=chunk) - As a company deemed to be under Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) due to its ownership by Italy's Leonardo S.p.A., DRS must operate under a proxy agreement with the DoD to maintain security clearances for classified contracts, where failure to comply could result in contract termination[111](index=111&type=chunk)[112](index=112&type=chunk)[222](index=222&type=chunk) - U.S. government contracts are often only partially funded and can be terminated for convenience, meaning the full value of backlog and bookings may not be realized[115](index=115&type=chunk)[132](index=132&type=chunk) - The business is susceptible to security breaches, including cyber-attacks and insider threats, which could disrupt operations, compromise sensitive government information, and result in significant financial and reputational damage[158](index=158&type=chunk)[159](index=159&type=chunk) - The ultimate majority stockholder, Leonardo S.p.A., may have interests that conflict with those of other stockholders, and this relationship may discourage change of control transactions and requires US Holding's approval for certain major corporate actions like material M&A or incurring significant debt[231](index=231&type=chunk)[233](index=233&type=chunk)[237](index=237&type=chunk) - As a 'foreign person' under CFIUS regulations, future acquisitions or investments by DRS in U.S. businesses may be subject to review, which could block, delay, or impose conditions on such transactions[228](index=228&type=chunk)[229](index=229&type=chunk) [Unresolved Staff Comments](index=51&type=section&id=Item%201B.%20Unresolved%20Staff%20Comments) The company reports no unresolved staff comments from the SEC -
