Massachusetts-based OceanServer Technology, a designer and maker of autonomous underwater vehicles, has been acquired by L-3 Technologies.

The transaction announced by L3 on Tuesday occurred last month, and brings a complementary line of products to L-3's portfolio of sensor and communication systems, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance equipment, and anti-submarine warfare and mine counter-measures.

OceanServer Technology is now part of L3's Sensor Systems segment and has been given a new name: L3 OceanServer.

Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
