18 Jun 2026 LOGZONE Inc.LOGZONE pays 507,144 USD over lack of cybersecurity in Navy contracts €442,495
The Huntsville-based defence services provider allegedly invoiced two Navy contracts from May 2021 to March 2025 even though it had not implemented the security controls under NIST SP 800-171 required by the contracts. The settlement under the False Claims Act with the U.S. Department of Justice amounts to 507,144 USD.
Companies that commit to cybersecurity requirements in government contracts must document their implementation verifiably – otherwise every invoice becomes a liability risk.

The manufacturer of militarily relevant thermal imaging technology admitted 19 violations to the US Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS): incorrect de minimis calculations for cameras that went to China via Sweden, pricing arranged with a Chinese drone manufacturer to circumvent the licence requirement, missing records and eight deliveries in 2024 to a Hong Kong address on the Entity List that the screening software did not detect.

3 Dec 2025 The Boeing Company und Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc.Boeing/Spirit AeroSystems: takeover only with divestiture of Airbus supplier plants Order

A monitor oversees implementation.
Vertical acquisitions of a supplier on which competitors also depend often only go through with divestitures and supply commitments.

31 Jul 2025 Aero Turbine Inc.; Gallant Capital Partners LLCAero Turbine and Gallant pay 1.75 million USD after self-disclosure on cyber obligations €1.53m
From 2018 to 2020, the engine maintenance company allegedly failed to implement the NIST controls of an Air Force contract and, in 2019, together with its private equity owner, passed files containing sensitive defence data to an unauthorised software company in Egypt. The companies had made several written self-disclosures, cooperated and remedied the issues promptly; the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) granted them cooperation credit for this. Settlement of 1.75 million USD.
Companies that pass controlled defence data to service providers must check their authorisation – self-disclosure and cooperation significantly reduce the consequences.

6 Feb 2025 Lockheed Martin CorporationLockheed Martin pays 29.74 million USD over inflated price proposals for the F-35 €28.7m
From 2013 to 2015, Lockheed Martin allegedly failed to provide the Joint Program Office with accurate cost and pricing data for five production and sustainment contracts for the F-35 programme and thereby obtained inflated prices. The settlement amounts to 29.74 million USD, in addition to 11.3 million USD that had already been paid to the Department of Defense; it was triggered by a qui tam action.
Whistleblower actions from within the company make pricing errors costly even years later – internal reporting channels must pick up such issues early.

16 Oct 2024 RTX Corporation (Raytheon Company)RTX (Raytheon) pays around 391 million USD for bribing a Qatari military official €338.4m
From 2011 to 2017, Raytheon paid almost 2 million USD via sham subcontracts to Qatari military and other public officials and more than 30 million USD to an agent from the ruling family. SEC order: disgorgement of 37,400,090 USD, interest of 11,786,208 USD and a penalty of 75 million USD (of which 22.5 million USD was credited against the DOJ payment); under the DPA with the DOJ, 267,096,068 USD (230.4 million penalty, 36,696,068 forfeiture) is attributable to the FCPA part, combined with an Arms Export Control Act violation and a three-year monitorship. Total without double counting: 368,782,366 USD.
Subcontracts without verifiable services are a classic vehicle for bribes – defence exporters must also disclose payment flows to export control authorities.
