This is the North American Headquarters of General Dynamics' Land Systems division, designers and makers of a majority of the US Armed Forces' land-based vehicles and weaponry. This specific site is also where presidential candidate Michael Dukakis made his infamous smirk for the camera while riding in a tank on the grounds.

GDLS occupies a 450,000 sf building, of which about one third is
devoted to a prototype shop for the development and modification of
military hardware. A large area of the office space is devoted to
engineering, making computing capacity a significant aspect of this
building.
