Airbus Defence and Space

Airbus Defence and Space, Europe's leading company in this sector, plays a major role in serving society. Our defence activities help make the world safer, while supporting disaster relief and other crisis management efforts. Airbus designs, builds and supports military aircraft, drones and information systems, which are interoperable and collaborative, in all operational areas: land, air, sea, space and cyber. Our space activities extend across the value chain: we provide access to space through our launcher joint venture, ArianeGroup; we develop satellites and we provide customers with valuable data and services. We thus advance space exploration, improve life on earth and help to address the world’s environmental challenges, including climate change.
