BAE To Review I&S Unit

BAE Systems said today it has hired external advisers to assess the U.S.-based manpower and services businesses of its U.S. intelligence and security sector.

These businesses, according to a company statement, "have generated external interest and a number of inquiries."

"This assessment does not include the technology/product-focused geospatial intelligence business of I&S, or the Company's cyber security and intelligence business, BAE Systems Applied intelligence," the contractor added. "There can be no certainty that any transaction will occur."
