Major contract awards.
The largest new defence contracts awarded by the US and UK governments in the last two years, from the official award data: the order book behind the financings on the register. Awards above US$250m for US Department of Defense awards (construction excluded) and £20m for UK defence awards.

61 awards on file; 30 are to companies on the register, linked to their company page. Contractors are named as in the official record, which often names the contracting subsidiary.
United States
US awards are new prime contracts and orders from USAspending.gov, the US government's official award data. The value is the amount obligated so far, which for a contract with options can be well below its ceiling. The Department of Defense reports awards there after a 90-day delay.
