After a wave of strategic acquisitions in recent years, L-3 has significantly boosted its presence as a systems integrator in complex defense programs. Alenia’s new C-27J Spartan military transport for the U.S. Joint Cargo Aircraft contract, which made its first flight last month, is L-3’s biggest task to date. The U.S. company is prime contractor for the integration of a wide variety of communications, electronics and self-protection systems, conducting its work at its facilities in Greenville and Waco, Texas.
“On projected revenues, this is our largest systems integration role and we expect the program to be delivered on time and on budget,” L-3 Communications president and CEO Mike Strianese told AIN.
