“It seems that the buzz word in today’s design world is ‘teamwork.’ Jacobs definitely teamed up with our staff. I have heard nothing but positive responses from all disciplines involved in the project design phase. Working with Jacobs has been a pleasure.”

## DEFENSE & AEROSPACE 

Global unrest challenges our largest U.S. client in this market—the Department of Defense. Under various contracts, we provided time-critical support to weapons development programs for the Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, Special Operations Command, and Army. Aerospace work was also robust, as our clients focus on business realignment and infrastructure modernization. 

At the Air Force’s Arnold Engineering Development Center in Tennessee— the world’ largest complex of aerodynamic and aeropropulsion ground test facilities—we continue integrated test and evaluation support to defense-critical weapon systems, including the Joint Strike Fighter, the Joint Direct Attack Munition, the Tactical Tomahawk, and the F-22 Fighter. Also, our technical support to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for scramjet flight testing earned us the Air Force Missile Command Test & Evaluation Team of the Year award. 

For the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, we perform engineering and integration activities for Nodes 2 and 3, major components of the International Space Station. We maintained the Node 2 launch date by resolving integration issues on the secondary structure, the avionics rack, and internal fluid piping. We have developed integration and testing plans to receive Node 2 at the Kennedy Space Center next year from the Italian Space Agency in Torino, Italy. 

We expanded our information technology (IT) market with an Information Technology Support Services contract for the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama. Through this 10-year, $565 million contract, we provide IT support services for automation, data/telecommunications, visual information, and records management. 

Our commitment to the Navy broadens with a comprehensive construction management contract for their Engineering Field Activity Mediterranean headquarters and other facilities worldwide. Combining global presence, strong Navy relationship, and private sector experience, we help our client streamline projects and consistently apply industry best practices, regardless of location. 

Ahead, we expect numerous new aerospace opportunities in facilities operations and maintenance, infrastructure recapitalization, and scientific engineering support. Our U.S. defense work also grows as clients seek our expertise to continually improve their weapons systems.
