Since then, the company has operated under several names including Jet Electronics & Technology (J.E.T.), BF Goodrich Aerospace and Goodrich Avionics Systems Inc.
L-3 acquired the Avionics Systems (L-3 AS) division in 2003.
Today the company provides a wide array of avionics technologies designed to improve situational awareness and enhance safety.
L-3 has been a pioneer in the development of collision avoidance, lightning detection, standby systems and most recently, advanced ADS-B technologies for GA. L 3 has brand-name products that are synonymous with quality and longevity. L-3 AS serves all aspects of aviation, with a primary focus on General and Business Aviation.

In 2012, L-3 AS was combined with four other L-3 businesses to form L-3 Aviation Products (L-3 AP). This organic collaboration added several new GA products and technologies to the portfolio, such as Cockpit Voice and Flight Data Recorders (CVR/FDR), ADS-B transponders, TCAS II, Class A TAWS, Cockpit Displays and expanded MRO and service capabilities.
The groundbreaking Lynx® MultiLink Surveillance System is the result of a collaboration of engineering expertise and lean manufacturing processes between several L-3 Aviation Products’ facilities.
L-3 AP has seven facilities in the United States, Canada and France, with a worldwide network of sales and service centers, and a 600+ dealer network.
The company operates multiple GA aircraft that are utilized for sales, flight testing, new product development and product certification.
