Defense Aerospace. Rolls-Royce engines and technology have proudly served the U.S. military on land, sea and in the air in most major military conflicts for well over half a century. Today, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is the company's largest government customer worldwide.

Rolls-Royce powers nearly 2,800 fixed and rotary-wing aircraft currently in service with all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. These include such mission-critical aircraft as: the RQ-4A Global Hawk in service with the US Air Force; the AV8B Harrier and the V-22 Osprey in service with the US Marine Corps; the T-45 Goshawk and P-3 Orion in service with the US Navy; the OH-58 Kiowa and Kiowa Warrior and MH-6 Little Bird helicopters in service with the US Army; and C-130 Hercules transports with all branches.

Rolls-Royce powers helicopters operated by 160 military forces in 97 countries.

Rolls-Royce is a critical team member on the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) the world's largest ever fighter program. In cooperation with General Electric and Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce provides advanced engine technology solutions to meet the propulsion needs of the aircraft, including all vertical lift components for the short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) variant.
