“We’re leveraging 50+ years of extensive experience as a market
leader in space to provide ULA with significantly more affordable,
reliable and better-performing launch avionics,” said Christopher
E. Kubasik, L3’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “We are
developing next-generation space technologies, including
higher-capability launch avionics, advanced imaging technologies
and mission analysis, to help customers like ULA stay on the
leading edge as the space mission evolves over the next
decade.”
Under the agreement, ULA and L3 will integrate the companies’
design and manufacturing processes to provide ULA with low-cost,
custom solutions, enhancing ULA’s launch services. Work on this
project will be performed by L3’s Space & Sensors sector, which
is part of the company’s Sensor Systems business segment.
Vulcan Centaur is ULA’s next-generation, American rocket system.
It provides the capability to handle all of the missions that ULA’s
Atlas and Delta rockets perform today at a significantly reduced
price. More affordable launch services from ULA combined with L3’s
avionics systems will enable enhanced capabilities to support human
habitation and exploration in space, along with providing superior
solutions for satellite consumers.
“United Launch Alliance is proud to select L3 to develop the
complete avionics package for our Vulcan Centaur launch systems,”
said Tory Bruno, President and CEO of United Launch Alliance. “We
have exceptional confidence in the quality, performance and value
of L3’s avionics design, which will give our customers even greater
capability for new missions at a significant reduction in
cost.”
