Working in companies that may deal with some Haram : military jobs

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, My name is Tarek. I live in the USA. Recently, I have been offered a job position in a well known company called Lockheed martin. This company produces military aircraft, missiles, spacecraft equipment, and information technologies among other things. This position is in the manufacturing of missiles. The company sells to the US government as well as other countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and Israel. My question is that while this company sells to Muslim and non Muslim governments, would this job be considered Halal or Haram ? Please, I need to reply to the company by this Friday so I would appreciate a fast response. Thank you and Salam Alikum.
