How This List Is Made

Eligible: Headquartered in the United States. Active companies only.
Excluded: Subsidiaries and divisions, so that a parent and its units are not counted twice.
Ranked by: Total annual revenue as recorded on each profile, usually for 2023. This is company revenue, not defence revenue. Figures in other currencies are converted to US dollars at approximate average rates to put them in order; the table shows the original figure.
Coverage: 81 of 1,493 eligible companies have revenue data. Companies without it are not ranked.
Defence revenue: For a ranking by defence revenue alone, see the Top 100 defence companies.
