Rolls-Royce is to close its UK defence operations in Ansty, near Coventry.
The union Unite has blamed government defence cuts for the closure, which will mean 378 job losses.
The future of the company's Ansty factory, with employs an estimated 800 people, is now uncertain.
Unite national officer for aerospace and shipbuilding, Ian Waddell, said: "The underlying reason for the job losses is the government's defence spending cuts."
The company has yet to comment.
