In context

year. I mean should we think of this as kind of a multiyear investment that needs to be made? Or is this more something that will kind of revert to more normalized levels in '27 and beyond?

I was curious if you could maybe update those margin outlook targets. Phebe Novakovic: We believe there's margin improvement, headroom at Gulfstream, and we'll continue to pursue that.

But you should expect significant and consistent margin improvement over time. Throughout our plan period. Myles Walton: And is the Combat growth in '26 absorb
