Boeing Phantom Works


Boeing Phantom Works is the advanced prototyping arm of the defense and security side of The Boeing Company. Its primary focus is developing advanced military products and technologies, many of them highly classified.
Founded by McDonnell Douglas, the research and development group continued after Boeing acquired the company. Its logo is similar to one used for the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom fighter.

Scope and responsibility

Phantom Works' organization mirrors that of Boeing's Defense business units, with 'Advanced' versions of each unit. The underlying technology is provided by the Boeing Research and Technology organization, who develop new technologies for use by Boeing's Commercial and Defense units. Phantom Works responsibility is to grow those technologies into prototype to then transition those prototypes to the business units to turn into products.

Locations

Headquartered in Washington D.C., Phantom Works has projects in most Boeing locations in the United States.
Additionally an international group does modelling and simulation work for various governments in the United States, Britain, Australia, and India.
