Birdseye: L-3 Titan

by Dorothea
L-3 Titan is the sixth largest military contractor nationally, specializing in outsourced intelligence support. It has had an above average number of scandals recently, in addition to the ethical questions involved with operating the nature of business that they do. Its local branches in San Leandro and Watsonville are largely engaged in electrical product design.
