520 _aThis article is organised into three parts. The first examines the current financial and technological landscape of the United States defence industry as it has undergone a major upheaval since the end of the major combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The second section describes how defence contractors are currently supporting American military and intelligence missions around the globe by examining corporations' involvement in Cyber-operations, intelligence analysis and drone piloting, and support for special forces in irregular conflicts in failing states. Finally, the third section examines how American national security agencies have altered their approach to procuring technology from corporations.
