One of the Pentagon's largest contractors, General Dynamics makes submarines, armored vehicles and munitions for the military. It also produces the Gulfstream business jet. Strong demand for military hardware, fueled by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, has driven up profit. The company continues to extend its reach: Last October, it bought a Mount Airy, Md., company called Monteria that makes intelligence gear to decode and sort through data sent over the airwaves.
