Question

Who is the contractor for EMALS?

Short answer

General Atomics is the prime designer and manufacturer identified in the answer.

Notes

General Atomics is identified as the prime designer and manufacturer of EMALS. Lockheed Martin and BAE are among the supporting contributors. A wider group of companies and research organisations supplies lower-level input. That network differs from competition at prime-contractor level, where reliance on one supplier remains the concern. Clarke cites supplier deliveries running roughly two and a half to three years behind schedule.
