Defense & Aerospace Deal Toys

The galleries beginning on this page contain over 40 images of deal toys and financial tombstones from the defense and military and commercial aviation sectors. The designs commemorating transactions feature a range of components and technologies from these sectors. These include rockets, drones, aircraft carriers, jet airplanes, missiles, satellites, and submarines. Many of the deals commemorated here also feature some of the most recognizable firms and players in these sectors. These include Bombardier, Boeing, L3Harris, Huntington Ingalls, TATA Advanced Systems, Saab, and Kratos.

But you’ll also see here deal toys involving participants and transactions that are probably less familiar. These might include the acquisition of an Atlanta-based company specializing in critical communications networks such as those in government and defense, and one involving an Australian manufacturer of precision aerospace components; seed funding for a university-affiliated developer of high-performance propellants; a joint venture centering on the production of military helicopters; and the acquisition of a U.K. based provider of landing gear and hydraulic systems.

You will also find in these galleries designs unrelated to a specific financial transaction. These are awards and employee recognition pieces related to achievements in these sectors. You’ll see, for instance, aviation-themed leadership and training awards, as well as those related to NASA’s Habitat Challenge, and the Army Expeditionary Technology Search (xTechSearch).
