The design and drawings are proprietary. They are a complex collection of subsystem components. No other vendor could build these receivers that could be interoperable with existing equipment because L-3 has the parts/materials and expertise/skills to repair this unit. It is cost prohibitive to send the repair to another contractor. The NAICs code is 334511/750 employees.
