Airbus Defence and Space is a division of Airbus SE. It is responsible for the development and manufacturing of defence and space products, and providing related services. The division was formed in January 2014 during the corporate restructuring of European Aeronautic Defence and Space (EADS) into Airbus SE, and comprises the former Airbus Military, Astrium, and Cassidian divisions.[6] It is said to be the second largest space company in the world.[7]

As of 2023, the division employed 134,000 people from 86 nationalities.[8] They have an operational presence in 35 countries, and in 2016 they contributed 21% of Airbus revenues.[9]

Airbus Defence and Space has its main office in Taufkirchen, Germany[10] and is led by chief executive officer Michael Schoellhorn.[1] The company consists of three program lines: Military Air Systems (MiAS), Connected Intelligence (CI) and Space Systems.
