Airbus Defence and Space is a division of Airbus Group responsible for defence and aerospace products and services. The division was formed in January 2014 during the corporate restructuring of European Aeronautic Defence and Space (EADS), and comprises the former Airbus Military, Astrium, and Cassidian divisions.[4]
Airbus Defence and Space is present in dozens of countries on six continents.[5]
History
On 31 July 2013, European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) announced that it would change its corporate name to Airbus Group by the end of the year, and that Astrium, Cassidian, and the Airbus Military divisions would be merged to form a new company: Airbus Defence and Space.[6]
In January 2014, the parent company EADS effected the reorganisation as Airbus Group, of three subsidiary companies that include Airbus Defence and Space, Airbus, and Airbus Helicopters.[7]
