Operating earnings in the company’s Defense, Space & Security sector declined to $684 million in the quarter ended Sept. 30, from $885 million a year earlier, as profits fell 35% in the military aircraft business and 40% in network and space systems. Total revenues in the defense unit were down 6%, to $8.2 billion.
