Total Synergies
Four sources of synergies that will drive margins:
A) Supply Chain and Procurement.
With key capital intensive division, such as, missile, avionics, radar, and propulsion division set to witness lower cost of procurement, the reduction in cost, should help drive gross margins (details below).
B) Corporate synergies will largely be a result of personnel and cross department synergies.
