The business, now named L-3 Mustang Technology, develops and manufactures radar-based sensors and systems used in precision-guided weapons, electronic warfare, unmanned systems and other military applications. Headquartered in Plano, Texas, L-3 Mustang employs approximately 115 people and its products are used by the U.S. military, government agencies and prime contractors.

“Mustang adds key capabilities, technical synergies, proprietary technologies and new customers to L-3’s existing Precision Engagement business in our Electronic Systems segment,” said Michael T.

The results for L-3 customers will be market-disrupting products and product enhancements, which will improve mission effectiveness of guided munitions, as well as a new portfolio of solutions.”
