L-3 will Exhibit at Pacific 2015

Pacific 2015 International Maritime Exposition

October 6–8, 2015

Sydney Convention and Exposition Centre, Sydney, Australia.

This exposition is the only comprehensive international exhibition of its kind in Australia, Asia and the

Indo-Pacific region. Pacific 2015 enables commercial maritime and naval defence industries to promote

their capabilities to decision-makers from around the world. Pacific 2015 is a significant event to learn

about the latest solutions, products and capabilities being produced. As a leading integrator for major

maritime platforms, L-3 will demonstrate our innovative secure tactical integrated solutions for land, air,

sea and space during the show. L-3’s booth, #3I10, located in the USA Pavilion, will highlight our new

IMPACT Integrated Solutions™ capabilities. These solutions provide reliable, off-the-shelf military

communication systems to vessels ranging from patrol boats and submarines to large combatants. If

attending the Pacific 2015 exposition, we invite you to L-3’s booth to experience the impact of our

innovative secure tactical solutions, our new touchscreen integrated multimedia terminal and the new

Symphony® architecture.

Integrated Virtual Services Network (InVSN), a Featured Capability of Our

IMPACT Integrated Solutions L-3’s InVSN suite, which will be demonstrated at Pacific 2015, will showcase new innovations in

command, control and integration of naval communication systems and beyond. The demo will illustrate

how L-3 is building on new technology in order to support platform missions, improve subsystem

integration, and dramatically increase the users’ insight into the system. Through L-3’s commitment to

enhance eyes-on capabilities of a vessel’s subsystems, our InVSN suite offers naval operators not only

continuous situational awareness, but also the ability to remotely access and troubleshoot time-critical

communication systems on each platform. The result is seamless connectivity between the

communication nodes and the troops, maximum equipment uptime, and enhancements to maintenance

operations that ensure the naval operators’ mission is uninterrupted. ◊

Threat systems are growing in both quality and quantity. Continued pressure on U.S.

defense budgets prevents the USAF from purchasing large numbers of major weapons

system platforms. The solution to this imbalance lies in providing rapidly adaptable

capability within the major platform fleet and the flexible weapons they employ. Open

System Architectures (OSA) are key to the rapid refresh of both platform and weapons

capabilities. L-3’s robust and mature Multi-Level Security capability is a key enabler of

current and future OSAs. “It has been such a pleasure for me to be involved in the OSA

efforts at L-3 CS-East,” said Russ Quinn. Russ Quinn

“Our engineers and staff are sincerely committed to continually increasing the USAF’s combat capability.

Applying OSA techniques, we’re working to ensure the fifth-generation fleet can accept the capability

enhancements required to defeat the myriad of threat systems today and ones coming in the future.”

Russ joined our sister division, L-3 CS-West, in 2011 as the Lead Business Development Manager for the

Pacific Region. He recently joined L-3 CS-East as Director, USAF Business Development, focusing on both

classified and unclassified programs. He is intimately familiar with aircraft upgrade challenges, having

spent six years in the USAF’s premier operational test organizations. He commanded an F-16 squadron in

Germany, directed the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) training and inspection division, and flew as a solo pilot

with the Thunderbird Team. Russ brings over 26 years of diverse active duty experience to L-3 CS-East. ◊

Ship-to-Shore Connector Enters Low-Rate Initial Production

L-3 is the C4 Integrator on the next-generation Landing Craft Air

Cushion vehicle. L-3 CS-East is responsible for communications

integration and ensuring the survivability of the Craft Computing

Environment, Alarm & Announcing and Communications gear,

along with entire craft-level Integrated Logistic Support (ILS). L-3

recently received an award for three Low Rate Initial Production

(LRIP) vehicles. The LRIP award is a significant milestone on the

program; it’s the turning point from the Design Phase to the Build

Phase. Eight LRIP vehicles are planned, with 64 production

platforms to follow. ◊ Ship-to-Shore Connector
