          The title of the class of equity securities to which this statement on
          Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates is common stock, par value
          $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of LogiMetrics, Inc., a Delaware
          corporation (the "Company"). The principal executive offices of the
          Company are located at 50 Orville Drive, Bohemia, New York 11716.

ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

          This Statement is filed by L-3 Communications Corporation, a Delaware

          Delaware corporation ("Holdings").

          Holdings is a publicly traded corporation. Purchaser is a wholly owned

          sophisticated secure communication systems and specialized
          communication products. Purchaser produces secure, high data rate
          communication systems, microwave components, avionics and ocean

          Both Purchaser and Holdings have their principal executive offices at

          During the last five years, neither Purchaser nor Holdings nor, to the

          Appendix A hereto (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding
          (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) was a

          to such laws.

ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

          Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated July 10, 2000 (the "Purchase

          Purchaser purchased from the Company an aggregate of 93,236,794 newly
          issued shares of Common Stock (the "Purchaser Shares") (such aggregate
          number of Purchaser Shares being subject to adjustment as provided in

          hereto as Exhibit 7.2 and which Section 1.3 is incorporated herein by
          reference), for a total purchase price of $15,000,000 paid at the
          closing under the Purchase Agreement as follows: (i) cash in the
          amount of $8,500,000 (the "Cash Funding"); and (ii) a secured
          promissory note of the Purchaser in the principal amount of $6,500,000
          (the "Secured Promissory Note") initially secured by a pledge of
          40,402,611 Purchaser Shares (the "Pledged Shares") pursuant to the
          Stock Pledge Agreement, dated as of July 10, 2000 (the "Stock Pledge
          Agreement"), made by Purchaser in favor of the Company. The Secured
          Promissory Note will be prepaid from time to time as necessary to fund
          the Company's reasonable ongoing working capital needs. If not paid
          prior thereto, the Secured Promissory Note will be paid in full on the

          qualifying public offering of its equity securities. The Purchase
          Agreement, the Secured Promissory Note and the Stock Pledge Agreement,
          attached hereto as Exhibits 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4, respectively, are
          incorporated herein by reference.

          The Cash Funding was, and any payments under the Secured Promissory
          Note will be financed using: (i) borrowings under Purchaser's senior
          credit facilities with a syndicate of banks and financial institutions
          led by Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent pursuant to (A)
          the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amended and
          Restated Credit Agreement"), (B) the Amended and Restated 364 Day
          Credit Agreement (the "Amended and Restated 364 Day Credit
          Agreement"), and (C) the New 364 Day Credit Agreement (the "New 364
          Day Credit Agreement"), in each case dated as of April 24, 2000, among
          Purchaser, as Borrower, the Several Lenders from time to time Parties
          thereto, the Certain Financial Institutions named as Co-Agents
          therein, Bank of America Securities LLC and Lehman Commercial Paper
          Inc., as Arrangers, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent,
          and Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as Documentation Agent and
          Syndication Agent (the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the
          Amended and Restated 364 Day Credit Agreement and the New 364 Day
          Credit Agreement are sometimes referred to herein, collectively, as
          the "Senior Credit Facilities"); (ii) Purchaser's working capital;
          or (iii) a combination of clauses (i) and (ii).

          The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $200,000,000
          revolving credit facility expiring on March 31, 2003; the Amended and
          Restated 364 Day Credit Agreement provides for a $200,000,000 364-day
          revolving credit facility expiring on August 10, 2000; the New 364 Day
          Credit Agreement provides for a $300,000,000 364-day revolving credit
          facility expiring on April 27, 2001; provided, however, that all or a
          portion of the revolving credit facility under the Amended and
          Restated 364 Day Credit Agreement may be extended for a period of 364
          days following August 10, 2000 with the consent of lenders holding not
          less than 50% of the commitments; provided further, however, that
          Purchaser may convert all or portion of the outstanding principal
          amount of the loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility
          under the Amended and Restated 364 Day Credit Agreement to term loans
          on August 10, 2000 or the date 364 days thereafter (the "364 Day
          Termination Date"). The revolving credit facility under the Amended
          and Restated 364 Day Credit Agreement includes borrowing capacity
          available for letters of credit and for borrowing on same-day notice
          (the "Swingline Loans").

          All borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest, at
          Purchaser's option, at either: (i) a "base rate" equal to, for any
          day, the higher of: (A) 0.50% per annum above the latest Federal Funds
          Rate; and (B) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly
          announced from time to time by Bank of America National Trust &
          Savings Association in San Francisco, California, as its "reference
          rate" plus a spread ranging from 1.75% to 0.375% per annum depending
          on Purchaser's ratio of debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Senior
          Credit Facilities ("Bank EBITDA")) at the time of determination; or
          (ii) a "LIBOR rate" equal to, for any Interest Period (as defined in
          the Senior Credit Facilities), the London interbank offered rate of
          interest per annum for such Interest Period as determined by the
          Administrative Agent, plus a spread ranging from 2.75% to 1.25% per
          annum depending on Purchaser's ratio of debt to Bank EBITDA; provided,
          however, that Swingline Loans can only bear interest at a "base rate"
          plus the applicable spread.

          Purchaser will pay commitment fees calculated at a rate (i) ranging
          from 0.50% to 0.30% per annum on the daily amount of the available
          unused commitment under the revolving credit facility under the
          Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and (ii) ranging from 0.30%
          to 0.20% per annum on the daily amount of the available unused
          commitment under the revolving credit facilities under both the
          Amended and Restated 364 Day Credit Agreement and the New 364 Day
          Credit Agreement, in each case depending on Purchaser's ratio of
          debt-to-EBITDA in effect on each day. Such commitment fees will be
          payable quarterly in arrears and upon termination of the Senior
          Credit Facilities.

          Purchaser will pay a letter of credit fee calculated at a rate ranging
          from (i) 1.375% to 0.625% per annum
