• Company funded R&D increased due to
efforts associated with positioning
Government Systems business for new
growth opportunities, offset by lower A350
development costs in Commercial Systems
• Customer funded R&D increased primarily
due to the following:
• Higher development costs for
international programs in Commercial
Systems
• Higher costs for next generation
avionics programs in Government
Systems
• Higher amortization of pre-production
engineering costs
• Decreased investment in pre-production
engineering driven by lower development
