Furthermore, for all air, sea, and ground systems it provides sustainment, operations and modernization, and logistics support. It also specializes in providing critical warfighter training in a realistic virtual environment for complex missions.

Intersegment Eliminations

The value at which the sales between the segments are recorded, contains intercompany operating income, for the particular segment. It is based on the segment’s expected average operating margin rate for outer sales. In other words, Intersegment eliminations include revenue from initiatives that facilitate trade between the company’s operational segments. Due to such intercompany operating income, the company’s total operating income may reflect inaccurate results in consolidated files. Hence, such income is deducted during consolidation, so that company’s total operating income and sales depict only those trades which are made with external customers.
