History
L-3 (named for Frank Lanza, Robert LaPenta, and Lehman Brothers) formed in 1997 from the purchase of ten former Lockheed Corporation business units when Lockheed merged in 1996 with Martin Marietta. The new Lockheed Martin was uninterested in owning these ten units.L-3 has continued to grow since then through numerous acquisitions to become one of the top ten U.S. government contractors.
Business Organization
As of 2008, L-3 is organized under four business segments:
Acquisitions
1997
Management
Frank Lanza, CEO and co-founder, died on June 7, 2006. CFO Michael T. Strianese was named as interim CEO, and was appointed President and CEO of the company on October 23, 2006.
Products
Detainee abuse
In May 2008, Emad al-Janabi sued L-3 and CACI for physical and mental abuse from employees while he was detained at the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad, Iraq. L-3 was named in the lawsuit because it had acquired Titan, which supplied all translators at the prison, while CACI had provided interrogators.
Federal contract suspension
In 2010 it was announced that L3's Special Support Programs Division had been suspended by the United States Air Force from doing any contract work for the US federal government. A US Department of Defense investigation had reportedly found that the company had, "used a highly sensitive government computer network to collect competitive business information for its own use." A US federal criminal investigation is ongoing. The temporary suspension was resolved on July 27, 2010.
