About General Dynamics Corporation
About General Dynamics Corporation
Marine Systems was 32% of General Dynamics' 2025 consolidated revenue ($16.7 billion), driven primarily by nuclear-powered submarine construction, while Aerospace contributed 25% ($13.1 billion) including the G800 entering service after FAA certification in April 2025. Combat Systems added 17% from armored vehicles and munitions, and Technologies rounded out the four-segment portfolio. Approximately 70% of 2025 consolidated revenue was derived from the U.S. government, and the Columbia-class ballistic-missile submarine program carries a Navy program-of-record value exceeding $125 billion.
General Dynamics earns revenue through long-cycle government contracts supplemented by commercial aerospace sales. Marine Systems—anchored by Electric Boat (prime contractor for Navy nuclear submarines), Bath Iron Works (DDG-51 destroyers), and NASSCO (auxiliary ships)—converts backlog under multi-year, multi-boat block contracts; 14 Virginia-class submarines are scheduled for delivery through 2034, and the first Columbia-class submarine targets delivery in 2028. Gulfstream in the Aerospace segment sells large-cabin jets to corporate, individual, and government buyers; the G700 entered service in 2024 and the G400 is in development. Technologies provides IT solutions and mission-support services to the Department of Defense, intelligence community, and federal civilian agencies. Combat Systems supplies the Abrams tank and Stryker vehicle to the U.S. Army and allies including Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The 10-K notes that certain segments sometimes rely on only one or two sources of supply, with semiconductors cited as an example that could disrupt multi-year contract performance.
Show full overview
Revenue visibility across the defense segments depends on annual Congressional appropriations; multi-year contracts remain subject to funding changes in subsequent fiscal years, and the U.S. government retains termination-for-convenience rights. The Columbia-class program—12 boats spanning approximately two decades of production—is rated at the highest possible level under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System and targets first delivery in 2028. Marine Systems revenue grew from $12.5 billion in fiscal 2023 to $16.7 billion in 2025, with 14 Virginia-class submarines in backlog through 2034.
