We are basically a commercial group that's now owned by GD. Previously we were TIW, Vertex, VertexRSI. We've had government contracts with JPL, Goldstone etc in the past. Mainly we build for Lockheed, Boeing, Intelsat, Echostar, Direct TV etc. My current project is part of a Lockheed project replacing the Navy's UFO communications. We're providing the antenna systems as fixed price COTS (commercial off the shelf).

That antenna I posted in error with the small aquisition antenna mounted on the rim of the dish was built for Boeing Space Systems use.

I'll have to post some pictures of a Telescope we just finished at the South Pole.
