Read at SEC EDGAR

What happened

A massive influx of new orders, highlighted by the 2.2-to-1 book-to-bill ratio in defense, signals a significant ramp-up in production and program execution. This will require investment in supply chain management, manufacturing technology, and program management systems to meet contractual obligations.
