L-3 Communications have declared that, a $200 Million ID/IQ (indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity) contract has been granted to one of its WESCAM subsidiary by the U.S. Air Force.
The funds generated from this contract would be diverted to buy the most modern version of L-3’s MX-15 Di Targeting System which comes along with a MX-20D targeting system and HD (high-definition) sensors to be used for the Project Liberty Program, for an anonymous customer, for which L-3 is the chief contractor.
