L-3 was formed in 1997 to acquire certain business units from Lockheed Martin that had previously been part of Loral Corporation. These units had belonged to Lockheed Corporation and Martin Marietta, which had merged three years before in 1993.[3] The company was founded by Frank Lanza and Robert LaPenta, who had both served as executives at Loral and Lockheed, in partnership with Lehman Brothers.[4]

L-3 continued to expand through mergers and acquisitions to become one of the top ten U.S. government contractors.[5]

On November 4, 2010 L-3 issued a part purge notification to prevent future use of Chinese counterfeit parts, but did not notify its customers whose display systems suffered from much higher than expected failure rates.[6]

L-3 Communications was named for the last initials of its founders Frank Lanza, Robert LaPenta, and Lehman Brothers. Despite the similarity in naming, there is no corporate connection between L-3 Communications and networking provider Level 3 Communications, whose name is often abbreviated "L3" in informal industry communication.

In December 2016, L-3 announced that, effective 31 December 2016, the company name would be changing from L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. to L3 Technologies, Inc. to better reflect the company's wider focus since it's founding in 1997. The company's website will change from L-3com.com to L3T.com, but the company's NYSE ticker symbol of LLL will remain the same.[16]
