Overview
L3Harris Technologies is a U.S. defense and aerospace technology company that develops systems connecting space, air, land, sea and cyber operations. Its products and services include military communications, sensors, intelligence and surveillance systems, space technologies, and missile and rocket propulsion. The company describes its purpose in terms of supporting national security; its customers include U.S. government agencies and contractors, international allies, and civil and commercial organizations.[1][2][3][4][5]
L3Harris was formed in 2019 through the merger of Harris Corporation and L3 Technologies. It serves customers in more than 100 countries. Fiscal 2025 revenue was approximately $21.9 billion, and the company employed approximately 45,000 people as of January 2, 2026.[6][1][7][8] [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Products & services
L3Harris produces space and airborne systems for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), navigation and timing, weather monitoring, missile defense and space surveillance. Its airborne equipment includes sensors and processors, infrared search-and-track systems, aircraft antennas, unmanned aircraft systems, precision weapons, and threat-warning and countermeasure systems.[9][10][11][12]
Its mission systems include multi-spectral electro-optical and infrared sensors for surveillance and target acquisition, along with laser rangefinders and target designators. Maritime offerings encompass naval electrical and power systems, imaging and communications equipment, sensors, and autonomous surface and undersea vessels; related services include fleet support and systems integration.[13][14][15][16] Its communications products include tactical radios, software and waveforms, satellite terminals, tactical data links and broadband networks. It also supplies helmet-mounted night-vision goggles, weapon sights, aiming lasers, rangefinders and public-safety communications systems.[17][18][19][20][21][22]
Through Aerojet Rocketdyne, L3Harris supplies propulsion, power and armament systems for missile defense, hypersonic and tactical systems, and space missions.[23][24][25][26] The company reports revenue by business segment rather than by individual product. In fiscal 2024, Space & Airborne Systems, Integrated Mission Systems, Communication Systems and Aerojet Rocketdyne each represented approximately 32%, 32%, 26% and 11% of consolidated revenue, respectively, before a negative other-category adjustment.[27] [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][27][27][27][27][27]
Geographic presence
L3Harris Technologies is headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, and has approximately 250 locations across the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific. Its major operating locations are concentrated in the United States, with additional sites in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and the United Arab Emirates. The company supports government customers in more than 100 countries; this describes customer reach rather than the number of countries in which it has facilities.[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]
In fiscal 2024, the United States accounted for approximately $16.94 billion, or 79% of revenue, while international markets accounted for approximately $4.39 billion, or 21%. The geographic revenue disclosure distinguishes the United States from international markets but does not provide a country-by-country breakdown. L3Harris reported approximately 47,000 employees as of January 3, 2025, without a geographic employee breakdown in the cited information.[43][44] [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][43][43][43][43][43][43][43][44]
Business segments
Beginning in fiscal 2026, L3Harris reports three segments: Space & Mission Systems (SMS), Communications & Spectrum Dominance (CSD), and Missile Solutions (MSL), replacing its previous four-segment structure of Space & Airborne Systems, Integrated Mission Systems, Communication Systems, and Aerojet Rocketdyne.[45][46] SMS combines satellite and payload capabilities, including missile-warning and defense systems, with maritime and airborne special-mission programs. CSD brings together resilient communications and electronic-warfare capabilities. MSL encompasses propulsion, hypersonics and other missile technologies.[47][48][49]
On a recast fiscal 2025 basis, SMS generated $10.71 billion in revenue, CSD $7.57 billion and MSL $3.80 billion—approximately 49%, 35% and 17%, respectively, of consolidated revenue of $21.87 billion. These shares exceed 100% in total because the reported segment figures are reconciled to consolidated revenue through other non-reportable businesses and a corporate deduction.[50][51] [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][51][51][51]
Company history
The company’s history brings together Harris Corporation and L3 Technologies. A major step in Harris’s expansion came on May 29, 2015, when it acquired Exelis, a defense and aerospace technology company.[52] Harris and L3 agreed to an all-stock merger in October 2018 and completed it on June 29, 2019, forming L3Harris Technologies.[53][54]
L3Harris expanded further on July 28, 2023, when it acquired Aerojet Rocketdyne, adding a rocket propulsion business.[55][56] [52][53][54][55][56]
