@georgewallot7739 the early Nike were conventional warheads, from Ajax through Zeus were nukes, with the B model Zeus carrying a neutron bomb to fizzle incoming warhead electronics and fissile mass in the warheads.
Also, that same company brought us nationwide fiber optic cables, much of which the US government leased from them and only recently handed back the control of (well, what they weren't using, as upgrades over time made the links a lot faster).
WWII saw pretty much every company producing military products, from a pilot lamp company producing submachine guns to IBM and Singer (to name just two out of many) producing M2 .50 cal machine guns. After the war ended, quite a few kept parts of their military products divisions and contributed to the Cold War efforts. Companies do, after all, exist in order to make money.
