BAE Systems Customer Solutions & Support
BAE Systems Customer Solutions & Support (CS&S) provides through-life support and upgrades for defence forces. The RAF Tornado GR4 upgrade is an example of the work undertaken by the CS&S division.
A major part of the division's business is the continuing Al Yamamah contracts with Saudi Arabia. BAE has approximately 4,600 employees working directly with the Royal Saudi Air Force (also see Military of Saudi Arabia). BAE is paid in oil via the United Kingdom government.
In 2005, following the completion of the acquisition of United Defense, BAE Systems launched a reorganisation of its U.S. businesses into three operating groups. One of these, Customer Solutions, is a direct equivalent to the UK CS&S division.
