Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDSS) is predicting defense opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region to reach around $70 billion over the next five years, a result of area-wide increases in defense investment to counter growing influences and meet rising political tensions. The company’s range of products and services is well-placed to capture a significant portion of that business in areas such as fighters and trainers, vertical lift and attack helicopters, mobility, surveillance, and autonomous systems.
