 British Aerospace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
British Aerospace (BAe) was a UK aircraft manufacturer, now part of BAE Systems.
In accordance with the provisions of the British Aerospace Act 1980 the statutory corporation was changed to a plc, British Aerospace Public Limited Company, on January 1 1981.
The company, initially called "New British Aerospace", was officially formed on November 30, 1999 and known as BAE Systems (most likely to make it seem less overtly "foreign" as it sought extensive US defense contracts and acquisitions).

The military uses of space are very varied and can be summarised briefly as follows: information-gathering, telecommunications, navigation (global positioning system), meteorology, oceanography, space-based surveillance (analysis and identification of orbiting objects and tracking) and early-warning systems (anti-missile, nuclear explosion detection), in all of which observation and communications play a very important role.
Alongside this technical-type structure, consideration might be given to establishing a European military space command, similar to the United States Military Space Command, formed by the military authorities responsible for space matters in the WEU countries or the countries participating in the space-based defence system.
Space is necessary for its existence as a power in its own right, commanding credibility and respect, and confident of being able to meet the challenges of the future in its dealings with its adversaries and also its allies.
