– New Center Will Promote In-Country
Partnerships and Speed Innovation to Canadian Customers –
L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:LLL) announced today
that it plans to open a Design, Engineering and Support facility in
Ottawa, Ontario, under the new organization, L-3 Communication
Systems – Canada. The facility will accommodate a team of highly
specialized design, software and systems engineers. It includes a
state-of-the-art communications system laboratory that will provide
an integration test bed and demonstration environment for future
maritime communications architectures for the Royal Canadian Navy’s
submarine and surface fleets.
The addition of L-3 Communication Systems – Canada to
world-class organizations, including MAS, WESCAM, MAPPS, Electronic
System Services and Targa, reaffirms L-3's standing as one of the
premier defense companies in Canada.
The new facility is a key component of L-3’s strategy to
showcase its innovative capabilities, promote in-country research
and innovation, and cultivate local academic and technology
partnerships. L-3 has a growing business base in Canada, which
reflects the company’s increased focus on marine communications and
electronic systems integration, building on L-3’s current
implementation of integrated communications solutions for the
Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship (AOPS) and Project Resolve Auxiliary
Oiler Replenishment (AOR) programs. The facility will better
prepare L-3’s businesses to be a part of future naval and marine
programs in Canada, as well as offer a strong base for the export
of L-3’s communication and electronic systems to the international
market.
“This state-of-the-art engineering center will be an important
contributor to the Ottawa technological community, leading our
efforts to best support our Canadian communications and systems
integration operations,” said John Mega, president of L-3’s
Communication Systems business segment. “Ontario’s highly skilled
workforce is a rich source of talent that enables L-3 to build upon
our extensive national support base. The creation of this
engineering center reaffirms our long-standing partnership with the
Canadian government and local industry and our commitment to
broaden access to L-3’s products and services.”
The Ottawa facility will complement the recently created L-3
Canada Marine Systems (L-3 CMS) business that offers naval and
marine customers a single point of contact with access to a wide
array of products and services. These include integrated platform
management systems, underwater systems, integrated communications,
sensors, ISR products, systems and integration, and in-service
support. L-3 supports a variety of maritime platforms, including
Halifax-class frigates, Victoria-class submarines, Orca-class
training vessels, Kingston-class Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels
(MCDVs), Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ships (AOPS) and the Project
Resolve Auxiliary Oiler Replenishment (AOR) ship.
Headquartered in New York City, L-3 employs approximately 38,000
people worldwide and is a leading provider of a broad range of
communication and electronic systems and products used on military
and commercial platforms. L-3 is also a prime contractor in
aerospace systems. The company reported 2015 sales of $10.5
billion.
