Leonardo DRS, Inc. announced today that it has been recognized with two awards from BAE Systems for outstanding supplier performance and a commitment to operational excellence in 2024. Leonardo DRS was recognized with BAE Systems’ Subcontract Supplier of the Year award for creating and delivering best-in-class products that support the warfighter. The company was also recognized as a top-level Gold Medallion for achieving a rating of 100% on both delivery and quality of its products.

These awards highlight the contributions by Leonardo DRS to BAE Systems’ partner’s supply chain success, ensuring quality products and on-time deliveries to U.S. military customers.

“Our agility has built our reputation as a trusted partner because we share the same goal with our customers; delivering innovative, quality products with the utmost integrity for the men and women of our armed forces,” said Bill Guyan, senior vice president and general manager of the Leonardo DRS Land Electronics business unit. “We are proud of these two awards from our partner BAE Systems and look forward to growing our strong partnership by delivering on what we promise, supplying high-quality products on time to ensure our warfighters are equipped for mission success.”

“The current conflicts across the globe have mandated faster deliveries and drives for efficiencies for soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen,” said Marc Casseres, vice president of Operations for BAE Systems’ Combat Mission Systems business. “As we continue to ramp, partnering with a supply chain who shares our commitment and passion for the warfighter is table stakes.”

BAE Systems’ ‘Partner2Win’ program recognizes suppliers for their achievements in operations, quality and procurement. As part of the program, BAE Systems maintains a close relationship with suppliers and creates an environment to share best practices, learnings and innovative solutions to problems. All suppliers awarded this year were recognized for going above and beyond the call of duty to create the highest quality products for our warfighters.
