About EADS CASA

EADS CASA, now Airbus Defense and Space, is a company resulting from a series of mergers of major European aerospace and defense manufacturers throughout the late 1990s and 2000s. CASA (Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA) began in 1923, initially operating as a manufacturer of Breguet aircraft. In 1999, the company was purchased by European Aeronautic Defense and Space (EADS), and the two became EADS CASA. In 2009, Airbus chose to unite all its brands under the Airbus name, at which point EADS CASA became Airbus Military. Five years later, Airbus Military merged with Astrium and Cassidian, becoming Airbus Defense and Space.

The company is responsible for provision of Airbus’ defense and aerospace products and services, in addition to certain ventures in telecommunications and electronics. The company is based in Ottobrunn, Germany and has four main programs: Military Aircraft, Space Systems, Communication, Intelligence, & Security, and Unmanned Aerial Systems. The company operates in more than 30 countries and has over 40,000 employees. It is the second largest space company in the world and one of the top ten defense companies in the world.
