Briefly

Integrated Defense Technologies Inc., an electronics maker whose products are used on F-16 fighter planes and Tomahawk missiles, filed Wednesday to raise as much as $125 million through an initial public stock offering in 2002. The Huntsville, Ala.-based company didn’t give specifics but said it plans to capitalize on the expected surge in defense spending. Another defense contractor, United Defense Industries Inc., raised $401 million last week in one of the year’s biggest IPOs.
