El Segundo California is one of the most strategically significant small cities in the United States — home to the Los Angeles Air Force Base (Space Base Delta 1), Aerospace Corporation, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Boeing Defense, and the Los Angeles Air Force Station that controls US military satellites. The city also hosts the Los Angeles County Crossroads of the World and sits adjacent to LAX — the second busiest cargo airport in the US. El Segundo is a primary target for foreign intelligence collection and cyber operations given its concentration of space and defense assets. Earthquake risk from the Inglewood Fault is significant.
