Included
- Include a retained filing once when any activity reports DEF, AER, or AVI.
- Count matching activities under each source code so DEF, AER, and AVI remain distinguishable.
Reviewed issue profile
Defense and Aerospace Policy
This page groups reviewed filings reported under the federal Defense, Aerospace, and Aviation/Airlines/Airports issue codes. The grouping describes disclosure categories, not an organization's position or effect on policy.

Lobbying disclosure
Definition and selection boundary
A normalized Gov Influence group for reviewed filings that use at least one of the official LDA codes DEF, AER, or AVI. The normalized name is an editorial navigation label; the filing keeps its original code, label, and description.
| Code and official label | Distinction | Organizations | Filings | Activities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
DEF — Defense | Defense records | 3 | 24 | 24 |
AER — Aerospace | Aerospace records | 1 | 10 | 10 |
AVI — Aviation/Airlines/Airports | Aviation, airlines, and airports records | 2 | 16 | 16 |
Excluded
- Do not include a filing solely because it mentions government, procurement, manufacturing, or transportation.
- Generic descriptions such as “government issues” or “business matters” are too broad without a reviewed DEF, AER, or AVI activity.
Classification method: Only filings carrying the reviewed Defense, Aerospace, or Aviation/Airlines/Airports LDA issue codes enter this grouping.
Site calculation
Matched collection by quarter
Counts use retained, exact-alias filings and count a filing once on this issue page even when more than one included code appears in it.
| Reporting quarter | Organizations | Filings |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 Q1 | 3 | 17 |
| 2026 Q2 | 3 | 17 |
18 of this page’s 34 filing matches also appear in at least one other normalized issue. That overlap is expected because a filing can report several official codes; issue totals must not be added together as if they were unique records.
Organization reporting patterns
Compare which source codes and quarters appear in the six-organization collection; do not treat filing or dollar differences as a measure of importance or effect. Dollar fields preserve reporting state; partial means at least one applicable filing did not provide a numeric value.
| Organization | Quarter | Filings | Self-reported expenses | Outside-registrant income |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon | 2026-Q1 | 1 | $4,380,000 | no applicable records |
| Amazon | 2026-Q2 | 1 | $4,360,000 | no applicable records |
| Boeing | 2026-Q1 | 12 | $2,450,000 | $510,000 |
| Boeing | 2026-Q2 | 12 | $2,770,000 (partial) | $500,000 (partial) |
| Microsoft | 2026-Q1 | 4 | $2,390,000 | $180,000 |
| Microsoft | 2026-Q2 | 4 | $2,690,000 | $180,000 |
Self-reported organization expenses are never added to outside-registrant income. A filing may also cover matters outside this normalized issue, so its organization-level amount is contextual and is not allocated to a code, description, bill, or outcome.
Representative original descriptions
One deterministic example is selected for each included code by organization name and filing ID. The text is preserved from the filing and is illustrative, not a ranking.

Context only
Reviewed bill context
A bill appears only when original matched filing language explicitly names it or an existing approved contextual-link record supplies the basis. A mention does not show support, opposition, coordination, effect, or causation.
Interpretation
What this page cannot show
- Whether an organization supported or opposed a defense, aerospace, or aviation proposal.
- Whether reported activity changed a procurement, military, space, or aviation decision.
- Activity outside the six selected organizations or outside Q1–Q2 2026.
- Code matches, descriptions, timing, organizations, reported amounts, and bill references do not establish influence, coordination, motive, wrongdoing, or causation.
