L3 Technologies (NYSE:LLL) announced today that it will feature
two next-generation Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
(ISR) solutions for government and military applications at the
upcoming Farnborough International Airshow.
L3 will exhibit both its new, extended-performance version of
Bombardier’s™ Q400™ aircraft and the AT-802L Longsword™, an FAA-
and military-certified ISR and light-attack aircraft, at the L3
Aircraft Support Pavilion, with capability briefings provided
throughout the trade days of the airshow from July 16-20, 2018.
“L3 is an industry leader that delivers advanced, rapidly
reconfigurable ISR solutions for a variety of complex missions, and
we’re investing in more innovative technologies and systems to meet
the needs of our customers,” said Christopher E. Kubasik, L3’s
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. “Our customers
need aircraft that can be deployed quickly. They want quality, and
they want the best solutions for their requirements and their
budgets. These two platforms help to accomplish those goals.”
L3’s Multi-Mission Aircraft (MMA) offers three baseline Q400
aircraft configurations — Multi-Role, Maritime Patrol and
ISR/Special Operations — that enable nine mission profiles. The
ability to adapt the MMA to meet each user’s distinctive needs sets
it apart from other general or multi-purpose systems.
Interchangeable, extended-range fuel tanks with mission payload and
future provisions for fire-retardant delivery systems enable the
platform to be quickly reconfigured for diverse planned operations
or quick response to unexpected situations.
“As the world’s threats evolve, our efforts to respond have
evolved as well,” said Darryl Conley, Vice President of Strategic
Capture for L3 Aerospace Systems. “The L3 Q400 MMA is ready for
tomorrow’s challenges and blends the strengths of a modern
high-performance turboprop with our proven record as a systems
integrator and payload innovator. This platform provides a single,
reliable, cost-effective means to do the same work of a mixed fleet
of specially equipped aircraft. The L3 MMA is the perfect solution
to replace aging maritime/ISR aircraft fleets and the increased
costs that go along with them.”
The AT-802L Longsword was developed through a collaboration
between aircraft manufacturer Air Tractor and L3 Aerospace Systems.
It is based on the successful AT-802-series of Air Tractor
aircraft, among the world’s largest and most capable aircraft. The
AT-802’s renowned heritage translates to best-in-class payload and
endurance, and a global network of support for the more than 770
AT-802 aircraft delivered by Air Tractor.
“Longsword is a low-cost aircraft solution that can be
configured for ISR and light-attack missions,” said Jonathan
Dalrymple, Vice President of Business Development for L3 Aerospace
Systems. “The platform provides precision targeting and enduring
surveillance capabilities at a fraction of the sustainment cost of
traditional fighter aircraft.”
Headquartered in New York City, L3 Technologies employs
approximately 31,000 people worldwide and is a leading provider of
a broad range of communication, electronic and sensor systems used
on military, homeland security and commercial platforms. L3 is also
a prime contractor in aerospace systems, security and detection
