Calgary-based CDL Systems may be the most important defense contractor you never heard of. But Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT  ) sure knows CDL. In fact, as of a few days ago, Lockheed owns CDL -- and with it, Lockheed bought itself a key piece of the infrastructure that controls unmanned aerial vehicles flown by everyone from Boeing (NYSE: BA  ) to Textron (NYSE: TXT  ) , and from AeroVironment (NASDAQ: AVAV  ) to Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC  ) .

Why was Lockheed's CDL purchase such a smart buy? Listen in, as Fool contributor Rich Smith explains.

Lockheed's more than just a pretty face. It's more than just the world's largest pure-play defense contractor. In fact, Lockheed is a pretty generous dividend payer, too.
