L-3 Selected to Produce New Outer P-3 Wings for US Navy

(New York, September 2, 2008) -- L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) today announced that its Integrated Systems Group has been awarded a $60.6 million contract to produce new outer wings for U.S. Navy P-3 aircraft.

Under the program, L-3 will produce four sets of new wings for the U.S. Navy, which will extend the life of its critical P-3 maritime patrol and surveillance aircraft fleet. The company developed modern tooling that will result in the production of the most advanced wing configuration available, using the U.S. Navy's latest P-3 parts and materials for improved resistance to fatigue and corrosion.

"Producing new wings for the U.S. Navy further demonstrates our P-3 expertise, which includes airframe and wing refurbishment, in addition to full mission systems development and integration," said Mike Holmes, vice president of Federal Programs for L-3 Integrated Systems. "L-3 provides competitive solutions, capacity and best value to maritime surveillance operators throughout the world."
