What drives this industry
Defense primes ride 5-20-year contract backlogs that smooth earnings across full business cycles. Government concentration is the customer risk; engineering capability + clearance staff + classified IP is the moat. ROIC routinely above 15% with low cyclicality, Buffett-quality compounders disguised as boring industrials.
