L-3 Communications and Korean Aerospace Industries have inked
an agreement to market surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities
in Korea and other Pacific-rim countries. "This relationship
will provide significant technology and experience to Korean industry
as well as to other Pacific Rim countries," l-3 Integrated
Systems president Bob Drewes said.
The five-year agreement will work alongside the Republic of
Korea's Lot II program to provide structural and systems upgrades
to the ROK's fleet of Lockheed P-3 Orions.
L-3 is currently working with the U.S. Navy along with other countries
to provide system upgrades to P-3s around the world, while KAI is
the prime contractor for all aircraft and satellites in service
with the Korean military.
