Leonardo DRS operates as a mid-sized defense technology company with two reporting segments: Advanced Sensing and Computing, and Integrated Mission Systems. Its public filings describe a portfolio that spans electro-optical and infrared sensors, tactical radars, edge computing, naval electric-drive systems, force-protection equipment, vehicle survivability, short-range air defense, and counter-uncrewed-aircraft systems.

The company is publicly traded under the DRS ticker and remains majority-linked to Leonardo S.p.A. through Leonardo US Holding. Its U.S. defense work is governed by foreign ownership, control, or influence mitigation arrangements, and the company reported that about 80 percent of 2025 revenue came directly or indirectly from U.S. government contracts.
