History

Boeing Defense, Space & Security is headquartered near St. Louis, Missouri, with major employment locations in California (with a larger BDS workforce than St. Louis), and Washington state. Boeing chose to locate the defense systems offices in the St. Louis area because of the role of the space and aircraft programs of the former McDonnell Douglas location, and bipartisan support from area politicians.
