The was due to higher engines output in the Component/Engine Repair & Overhaul business group that

Three business groups (Large-Scale Systems Group, Communication & Sensor Systems Group, Software Systems Group) recorded higher sales mainly due to higher value project milestone completions and increased satellite communication product sales.
Land Systems

Marine
Revenue for Marine sector fell 39% to $205 million. Marine industry remains tough due to weak oil prices and slowing demand.
