Former New York Senator Al D'Amato is working the Washington beat for General Dynamics regarding defense authorization and appropriations bills.
The Falls Church, VA-based company wrapped up the first-half of the year with a $71.1B backlog, which was up 27 percent from the March-ended period.
That backlog represents potential contract value of $99.5B.
In releasing financials, CEO Phebe Novakovic said the contractor has a "solid building block for the future with an increased defense backlog."
The firm recently picked up $17.8B multi-year contract from the Navy for ten Virginia-class submarines, $425M pact from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for contract center services, and $290M in work from the Army for 93 Stryker double-V-Hulled vehicles and logistical support.
