This latest move to the segment\u2019s president makes Stackley a corporate officer and member of the executive leadership team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the appointment of Stackley, who also served as acting Navy secretary, L3 announced the renaming of the segment \u2014 previously Communication Systems \u2014 and the realignment of its maritime business under that segment and Stackley\u2019s purview. The maritime business was before distributed across Communications Systems, Electronic Systems and ISR Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andrew Ivers, who headed the Communications Systems segment, will retire at the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While seemingly a decision driven by Stackley\u2019s own background in the Navy, L3 CEO Chris Kubasik said the shift of the maritime business is instead \u201cthe next step&#8221; in an ongoing effort to realign the company\u2019s portfolio of businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kubasik spoke to Defense News about that effort in July, which supports his long-term goal to be a nontraditional sixth prime. For that to happen, \u201cwe needed to be better integrated, more collaborative and more innovative. It\u2019s really a transformation of the company.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/digital-show-dailies\/farnborough\/2018\/07\/15\/how-l3-will-become-the-6th-prime-in-the-words-of-ceo-chris-kubasik\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/38_Kubasik-Cropped.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">How L3 will become the 6th prime, in the words of CEO Chris Kubasik<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">L3&#039;s buying power, President Trump&#039;s tariffs and internal company changes.

Stephen O\u2019Bryan, a nearly 10-year veteran of Lockheed Martin,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/farnborough\/2018\/07\/15\/l3-continues-expansion-of-leadership-team\/\" target=_blank> joined L3 in July to lead business development <\/a>companywide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melanie Heitkamp \u2014 formerly of Lockheed and Leidos, among others \u2014 leads human resources. The board of directors also saw some shifts, including the addition of Rita Lane, who spent years in the technology sector, among other things serving as vice president of operations at Apple and overseeing the launch of the iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kubasik spoke to Defense News ahead of the announcement, confirming that the executive leadership team is now set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m done,\u201d he said about top level appointments. \u201cBut we\u2019re continuing to attract and upgrade talent throughout the company.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ivers spent 13 years at L3, appointed to president of the former Communication Systems segment in November 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Along with the appointment of Stackley, L3 announced the realignment of its maritime business under that segment and Stackley\u2019s
