Quote History Quoted:
Northrop bought Litton. They mostly wanted the shipbuilding and sold off the Litton Electro-Optics Systems division to L3 Communications for a stupid cheap price.
L3 communications later changed their name to L3 Technologies because "communications" was a stupid name for a company who's biggest division was Aviation and Simulators.
Harris and L3 merged as of 1 July 2019. The name is now L3Harris. The tube factory in Tempe is the same factory it's been since 1972 or something like that. The old ITT tube house was sold to Elbit USA.
So, the buildings are the same, the people are the same, the phone numbers are the same, and everyone gets a new e-mail address. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quote History Quoted:

Northrop Grumman merged with/bought Litton Industries, which had an Electro-Optical Systems division. Northrop Grumman later sold EOS to L3 Technologies not long after your tube was made, which was the night vision division retained by L3Harris during their recent merger.
It's all the same damn companies, they just keep changing who the big company that owns them is and the sign they have to put on their building.
