Last week's trivia answer

I started out in aircraft in the 1930s. Today I'm a global security giant that rakes in nearly $34 billion yearly, offering aerospace, electronics, information systems, shipbuilding and technical services. Based in Los Angeles, I produce spacecraft, laser systems and nuclear powered submarines, among many other things. My acquisitions over the years have included Westinghouse Defense Electronics, Logicon, Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical, Litton Industries, Newport News Shipbuilding and TRW. My products have included the N-3PB patrol bomber of 1940, the F6F Hellcat of 1944, the F-5 supersonic fighter of 1959, and the B-2 stealth bomber. Who am I?
