L-3 travels south

More success for Woburn, Massachusetts-based L-3 Communications. The company this week announced that it had delivered fourteen of its eXaminer 3DX explosives detection systems as part of a security overhaul at Mexico City International Airport intended to bring the country into compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization’s 100 percent baggage screening requirement. ( L-3 also recently deployed automated explosives detection technology in Mexico’s nine Aeroportuario del Sureste group airports.) For our purposes, however, the point is that L-3 and its 3DX technology continue to perform well on the international scene. Readers may recall, for instance, our earlier reports about similar installations at Japan’s Kansai International Airport and at London Heathrow.

In recent years, L-3 has also signed similar deals with Mexico, Poland, Austria, South Korea, Thailand, and Singapore, to name just a few.
