L-3 ES has modern facilities in Toronto, Ontario and Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. In Ottawa, the Company maintains a Government Relations and Industry Affairs Office and provides on-site engineering and logistics services directly to Canada’s Department of National Defence and other customers.

The Toronto facility houses the Navigation Systems and Display Systems businesses, as well as Management, Finance and Administration departments, while the Halifax facility houses the Vehicle Electronics and Systems Engineering and Support business areas.

In Toronto, we recently completed the Design Implementation Phase of the F/A-18 Multipurpose Display Group Upgrade (MDGU) Program and were awarded long-lead production funding for our new colour, high resolution Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD) display suite. The displays are being installed on Canadian and Australian F-18 (CF-188) aircraft.

Toronto, Ontario Facility	Halifax, Nova Scotia Facility

Our Halifax facility is a recognized centre of excellence in the manufacture of electronics for armoured vehicles and for repair and overhaul of complex avionics products. The facility is a thriving avionics test and Repair and Overhaul business that offers “first-to-third” levels of maintenance, a full range of build-to-print assembly and test capabilities, ranging from commercial through RF and military specification levels of sophistication. The facility employs Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) technology that allows for a flexible production floor, prompt response to design changes, or the assembly of multiple variants of a product.

Halifax is also the home of our avionics weapon system management centre of excellence. An engineering staff of more than 60 personnel provide specialized technical services in support of various complex airborne systems, including Canada’s CP-140 Maritime Patrol Aircraft fleet. We provide systems engineering for the existing aircraft and several major CP-140 modernization projects. We are the prime contractor on the Canadian Forces’ CP140 Lifecycle Support Contract, responsible for “total support” of the aircraft avionics systems and related ground support systems through to the end of the life of the aircraft.
