Homeland June 20, 2019

L3 Technologies has integrated its Commercial Aviation Solutions (CAS) and Security & Detection Systems (SDS) sectors to streamline its product and services portfolio, providing airlines and airport security operators a single channel for evaluating and purchasing critical aviation and support systems.

Effective immediately, the company’s SDS and MacDonald Humfrey (MacH) businesses are part of L3 Commercial Aviation.

L3’s Security & Detection Systems is a supplier serving the aviation, transportation, government and critical infrastructure markets. L3 MacH provides turnkey system solutions in the automation of baggage handling and installation of airport security systems around the globe. The integration combines those businesses with L3’s full suite of services in commercial aviation, including the development and management of next-generation avionics and pilot training solutions.

This integration is the latest evolution of L3’s offering in commercial aviation and a key component of its growth strategy, enabling further synergies associated with increased scale, market adjacency and common customers. The integration also will leverage the strategic use of data across the business’s services, creating a unique value proposition for customers.

Alan Crawford, President of L3 Commercial Aviation, said: “Together, Commercial Aviation and Security & Detection Systems bring a unique set of capabilities to our customers worldwide, truly meeting their curb to cockpit requirements.
