Raytheon Co. added 74 cents to $56.80.
Northrop Grumman Corp. rose 66 cents to $67.19, after hitting an 18-month low of $66.43 shortly after the opening bell.
Lockheed Martin Corp. gained 76 cents to $100.28.
On the down side, shares of Boeing Co. dipped $1.16, to $67.05, their lowest point since August 2005.
