The record

What aerospace and defense companies announced, with the source behind every entry

A record of dated events at aerospace and defense companies, read continuously from the sources and published as each entry is verified. Each entry is the headline as its publisher wrote it, one passage quoted from the original, who published it and when, and a link you can open.

Nothing goes up without a source you can reach. Before an entry publishes, we fetch the source again and confirm the quoted words are still there. If they are not, the entry does not run.

We are a publisher for aerospace and defense. We sell companies a channel on our titles for their own announcements and their people's pieces, labelled as theirs.

What gets in

Every entry comes from our own reading of the public registers, the federal award data, the securities filings, the company newsrooms and the trade press, or from a company's own submission. Every one has to pass seven tests: a named aerospace or defense company, a dated event, a public source we can open, a quoted passage we have checked, a plain statement of what it changes, published in the last thirty days, and not already here.

An opinion is not an event, and neither is an award, a rebrand, an anniversary or a piece of thought leadership.

Send us yours

If your company has published an announcement, send us the link. You get a decision within five business days, and if we say no, we tell you which of the seven tests it failed. We publish only announcements you have already published yourself.

Where else this appears

The same entries are published as one file at /record/data, as RSS and JSON feeds, and by email with nothing added. Our own writing is the editor's stories on the titles; one public record read all the way through is at /signal-to-conversation.
