This is the code for major defense primes (Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics) producing military aircraft under programs like F-35, B-21, and Black Hawk. Smaller manufacturers of specialty aircraft (UAVs, training aircraft, special mission variants) also use this code. Programs are managed by AFLCMC and PEO Aviation (Army).
