Missiles and Fire Control was created in 1999
with the combination of two great companies--
Vox Systems in Grand Prairie, Texas and Electronics
and Missiles in Orlando, Florida.
The two units were very similar in terms of their pride
and the pursuit of excellence,
but at the same time had very distinctly different cultures,
processes, business models and systems.
As a management team we embarked on a journey
to create leaner common processes and optimize culture,
a consistent business model and common business systems.
Foundational to our successful performance throughout this
journey has been the talent and engagement of our employees.
This company spends considerable time interacting
with our employees at every level.
We strive to ensure employees have careers rather than jobs.
This leads to the lowest turnover rates in our industry
and significant investment in workforce development.
MFC's outstanding results are the product of a highly engaged
and satisfied workforce.
Our traditional customers are defense agencies
of the U.S. and our allies.
In no market or industry does the customer rely more
on the performance of the products they procure
than in the United States military.
In spite of a dynamic environment,
in a time when our served markets were consistently flat
to down, we experienced significant growth.
Our diversified portfolio coupled
with strong international demands
for our products has facilitated sustained profitability growth
over the last decade.
Our mission is to enable to warfighters,
to prevail in their defining moments
by providing superior weapons systems, sensors, and services.
Our focus has always been
on the ultimate customer, the warfighter.
Facilitating this has been our fundamental business principle--
business is not the objective, it is the result.
Performance is the objective.
This is not just a motto, it is fully embedded in our culture.
We deliver highly reliable products on time
and on budget managed by our performance management teams
across this enterprise.
We have begun a journey that will never end.
It is the source of all our energy and the critical enabler
of our continued success.
