L-3 Communications (NYSE:LLL) announced today that it has been
competitively awarded a $30 million contract from the U.S. Coast
Guard to missionize two C-130J aircraft using a next-generation
mission system suite. The total value of the contract, with all
options exercised, is approximately $93 million and work will be
performed by L-3 Platform Integration in Waco, Texas.
The government-owned mission system was developed jointly by the
U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy and is operated across multiple
platforms.
Under the five-year contract, L-3 will integrate mission systems
on two baseline configuration C-130J long-range surveillance
aircraft. The contract’s multiple options include performing the
same work on three additional baseline configuration aircraft and
converting seven HC-130J aircraft.
“We are excited to extend our C-130 missionization experience to
the U.S. Coast Guard fleet. Our team’s experience with the C-130
platform and this mission system will be important in delivering
these aircraft that will improve the long-range surveillance
capabilities for the U.S. Coast Guard,” said Mark Von Schwarz,
president of L-3’s Aerospace Systems business segment.
L-3 will produce, install, test and deliver the mission system
on each aircraft. It has performed similar missionization work for
the U.S. Navy.
L-3 Platform Integration has delivered hundreds of C-130
aircraft, performing mission and weapon systems integration,
avionics modernization, and heavy structural refurbishment for
numerous customers, including the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Special
Operations Command and numerous international C-130 operators.
This new contract expands L-3’s work with the U.S. Coast Guard.
The company currently provides communications systems design and
production work, C4ISR integration equipment and services, and
information assurance expertise to several platforms, including the
Offshore Patrol Cutter, Fast Response Cutter and National Security
Cutter. L-3 is also providing information assurance and integrated
communications products and sustainment work for Coast Guard
command centers, as well as supporting legacy cutter upgrade
initiatives.
Headquartered in New York City, L-3 employs approximately 45,000
people worldwide and is a prime contractor in aerospace systems and
national security solutions. L-3 is also a leading provider of a
