Revenue for the quarter increased 0.7% versus prior-year GAAP as 3.3% growth in core U.S. and international businesses was offset by the divestiture of the airport security and automation business and COVID-19-related impacts, mainly for commercial-related sales. Organic revenue increased 4.4% for the quarter as 7.4% growth in core U.S. and international businesses, excluding commercial aviation and Public Safety, more than offset the anticipated decline from the pandemic. At the segment level, revenue growth was driven by Integrated Mission Systems, Space and Airborne Systems and Communication Systems, partially offset by a decline in Aviation Systems due to COVID-19-related impacts.
GAAP EPS for the quarter increased 4.7% versus prior year driven by operational excellence, integration benefits, a decrease in integration costs and lower share count, partially offset by impacts from the pandemic, higher investments and amortization of merger-related intangibles, as well as the absence of a prior-year benefit from the gain on the sale of the Harris Night Vision business. Third quarter non-GAAP EPS increased 10% versus prior year driven by the favorable factors noted above, partially offset by the impacts of the pandemic and higher investments. Net income margin contracted 20 bps and adjusted EBIT margin expanded 60 bps to 17.9% versus prior year.

Third quarter revenue increased 6.2% from strong growth in Maritime from a ramp in manned and classified platforms, and in ISR driven by aircraft missionization demand, partially offset by a moderate decline in Electro Optical due to program timing. Third quarter operating income increased 21% to $213 million, and operating margin expanded 190 bps to 15.5% versus prior year, driven by operational excellence and integration benefits, partially offset by higher investments.
Segment funded book-to-bill was 1.08 for the quarter and 1.22 year-to-date.
Orders strength in ISR continued with several international awards totaling $123 million, including an award to provide ISR capabilities on three King Air 350ER aircraft for the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) and an order to deliver a missionized Gulfstream G550 aircraft to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
In Electro Optical, sensor demand remained strong with a $37 million sole-source IDIQ award for thermal sight systems and equipment in support of the U.S. Marine Corps Assault Amphibious Vehicle. The company also reinforced its international position with a $54 million order for WESCAM airborne turrets from a European customer.
In Maritime, the companys investment in unmanned capabilities led to a $35 million award from the U.S. Navy as the prime system integrator for the Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MUSV) program, which with options could reach $281 million. The company was als
