L3 Technologies did something unusual this week
"Once you enter the big leagues of military suppliers, anonymity isn’t an option." - Loren Thompson, Chief Operating Officer of the non-profit Lexington Institute.
L3 leadership briefed business and industry reporters on June 6, 2019 at the company’s pre-Paris Air Show leadership briefing and Q&A. It was an on-the-record event with L3’s CEO Chris Kubasik and key members of L3’s leadership team ahead of the 2019 Paris Air Show. As the aerospace & defense industry gears up for the 2019 Paris Air Show, Chris and his colleagues led a lively discussion around strategic business initiatives including an update on the L3/Harris merger (defense industry's largest), innovation and technology development processes, commercial aviation and pilot training, and recent wins. Integrated mission system wins discussed included the $500 million contract from the US Air Force to modernize C-130s, designing the next attack recon helicopter as part of the US Army's Future Vertical Lift modernization priority, and $1 billion deal to deliver five next-generation electronic warfare aircraft to Australia. Aviation safety news discussed included L3's new passenger screening experience center near Ronald Reagan National airport in Arlington, VA.

5 年M&A has two faces, best wishes for a successful integration and may the pleasant face remain strong.? Hello Dino, we are the proud parents of a recent CU Bolder Computer Engineer. His first job is down near Colorado Springs working for the Air Force Space [something or another] in Contractor Mode. He needed a clearance just to find out what the job description is. I see ghost people . . .?
