About V2X

V2X

V2X is a global mission support and services company that provides integrated solutions to U.S. defense, intelligence, and federal civilian agencies. Formed through the merger of Vertex Aerospace and Vectrus, the company delivers end-to-end support across logistics, maintenance, infrastructure operations, IT services, and mission readiness for military installations and deployed environments worldwide.

This makes V2X particularly relevant for professionals who prefer operational, field-based, and mission sustainment work.

For professionals seeking stable, mission-focused careers with strong ties to real-world military operations, V2X stands out as a key employer in the defense services and readiness ecosystem.
