With a 2019 sale of about $16 billion, the Integrated Defense and Missile Systems, a combination of Missile Systems and Integrated Defense Systems, will be led by President Wesley D. Kremer.

The new business unit led by Azevedo will offer a wide range of mission support including airborne and space sensors, electronic warfare and communications systems, cybersecurity and cyber analytics capabilities, advanced air traffic control technologies, ground-based space logistics, training, engineering services, artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities.

Prior to SAS, Azevedo was vice president and general manager of SAS’ mission focused-area Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems, which focuses on active scanning radars, optical/infrared sensors and informing clients of various special mission aircraft solutions for strike and surveillance.
