Oct 20 (Reuters) - Boeing ( BA ) closed a deal this
month to sell a small defense subsidiary that makes surveillance
equipment for the U.S. military, the company said on Sunday, as
the planemaker looks to shore up its struggling finances.
Boeing ( BA ) said in a statement that Digital Receiver Technology,
which makes wireless equipment used by intelligence services,
will be sold to Thales Defense & Security, an arm of Europe's
largest defence electronics firm.
Boeing ( BA ) did not disclose the terms of the deal.
