Exelis (NYSE: XLS) is a relatively new name in the defense and aerospace sector, having spun off from ITT (ITT 0.63%) a couple of years ago. It competes in the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance space – or C4ISR for all you acronym lovers.

Our roving reporter Rex Moore was at last month's Air & Space Conference near Washington, D.C., and spoke with Bob Edmonds about Exelis' business. In this video, Bob explains Exelis' partnerships with Lockheed Martin (LMT -0.55%), Northrop Grumman (NOC 1.82%), and Raytheon (RTN), and direct customers such as the Department of Defense and the FAA.
