20. Segments

​

The Company’s product segments are as follows:

​

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems —The Small UAS segment focuses primarily on products designed to operate reliably at very low altitudes in a wide range of environmental conditions, providing a vantage point from which to collect and deliver valuable information as well as related support services including training, spare parts, product repair, product replacement, and the customer contracted operation.

​

Tactical Missile Systems – The TMS segment focuses primarily on TMS products, which are tube-launched aircraft that deploy with the push of a button, fly at higher speeds than small UAS products, and perform either effects delivery or reconnaissance missions, and related support services including training, spare parts, product repair, and product replacement. The TMS segment also includes customer-funded research and development programs.

​

Medium Unmanned Aircraft Systems—The MUAS segment, which originates with the acquisition of Arcturus, focuses on designs, engineers, tools, and manufactures unmanned aerial and aircraft systems including airborne platforms, payloads and payload integration, ground control systems, and ground support equipment and other items and services related generally to unmanned aircraft systems including ISR services.

​

All other—All other segments include HAPS, MacCready Works and the recently acquired ISG and Telerob businesses.

​

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, “Organization and Significant Accounting Policies.” The operating segments do not make sales to each other. The following table (in thousands) sets forth segment revenue, gross margin, operating (loss) income and adjusted operating (loss) income from operations for the periods indicated. Adjusted operating (loss) income is defined as operating (loss) income before intangible amortization, amortization of purchase accounting adjustment related to increasing the carrying value of certain assets to fair value, and acquisition related expenses.
