BAE Systems
BAE Systems, according to its website , "offers significant capabilities in intelligence, surveillance,
reconnaissance, information warfare, mission management, and communications systems." From the
HBGary e-mails, it's known that the firm holds a contract with ARSTRAT for "COSMIC PROGRAM,"
a $500 million project that lasts through 2017 and which may involve nuclear weapons security.
BAE's board of directors includes former DHS secretary Michael Chertoff, who has been criticized
for having assisted the firm in winning a major contract presumably via his insider status in the
security world.
BAE was involved with HBGary throughout 2010. Early on in the relationship, HBGary employee Ted
Vera noted to the company, "We have offensive capabilities which are not advertised on our
website." BAE also seems to have arranged for HBGary to provide those same "offensive"
capabilities to other clients.
In this exchange on 8/13/10, Ted Vera announces to others at HBGary:
I forgot to mention... ARSTRAT asked BAE if they can coordinate a classified HBGary
capabilities brief. Can you travel to CO soon? It sounds like they have a near-term
project.
Here, Joe Maier of BAE responds to Vera's e-mail from a month earlier with an offer to get the firm
in touch with an unknown client for a demonstration:

Ted,
My customer is looking for a demonstration of your capabilities potentially at the SCI level.
If you have time, please give me a call.

Chris,
It was a pleasure meeting with you yesterday. Please stay in touch and let me know when
you're in town. When should I expect to see a draft teaming agreement?
I've attached some of our product sheets for your review. Our software can be especially
helpful for organizations who conduct incident response, digital forensics
investigations, vulnerability research / proof-of-concept exploit development, and malware
reverse engineering / analysis. If you have any such organizations within
BAE I'd really appreciate an introduction.
Also as we discussed, HBGary has offensive cyber capabilities (we don't advertise). I have
several 0-day proof-of-concept exploits on the shelf ready for
weaponization. If you have any qualified customers who would be interested, I can send you
summary descriptions.
Regards,
Ted
At one point, the two organizations discussed working together on a federal procurement called
Asteroid, with Vera signing an NDA from BAE for the purpose. At another point, Vera "did a whois
search on www.arin.net to identify the IP netblocks associated with the BAE Systems organization,"
as he notes in an e-mail to Barr. Those IPs are:
