Bae Systems: 0.1 TCR = 4% of Armored military vehicles (except tanks) and parts manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Bae Systems safety composite

Bae Systems scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 96% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
