L-3 Receives $23 M Order from US Marine Corps

(New York, September 11, 2008) -- L-3 Communications announced today that its Advanced Products and Design unit has been awarded a $23.2 million delivery order to provide 600 VideoScout-MC mobile video exploitation and management systems to the United States Marine Corps. These systems enhance portable equipment currently in use by adding video imagery in real-time, which improves situational awareness. Production of these units is underway, with deliveries expected in the fourth quarter of 2008.

"Over the past four years, we have worked with the Marines to develop a lightweight, interoperable video exploitation, management and analysis system," said Larry Vernec, senior vice president of marketing and strategic business development at L-3 Advanced Products and Design. "VideoScout-MC enhances situational understanding in the field by helping Marines capture and quickly share the video they receive from aerial and ground-based sensors across the battlespace."
