### Federal Market & Contracts
L3Harris Technologies operates as an agile global aerospace and defense technology innovator, delivering end-to-end solutions across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains [1]. The company actively partners with the Department of War (DoW) through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs to promote innovative solutions that close DoW technology gaps [1].
L3Harris provides a wide range of advanced defense electronics and systems to federal agencies, state and local governments, and commercial customers. These offerings include: * Advanced defense electronics, such as space communications, space flight avionics, precision navigation and timing, anti-jam capabilities, and airborne sensors for test and assessment [4]. * State-of-the-art communications equipment, systems, and applications for first responders, utilities, and transit agencies [4]. * Comprehensive cyber capabilities, including full life-cycle software support, DevSecOps, custom Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) software development, and software architectural design [2].
Demonstrating key contract achievement, L3Harris secured a \$145 million contract on April 19, 2023, specifically for modernizing U.S. Space Domain Awareness Capabilities [13].
Notable programs and products supporting national security missions include: * The Sky Warden™ ISR Strike Aircraft, selected for U.S. SOC Armed Overwatch [10]. * The Viper Shield™ AN/ALQ-254(V)1 all-digital electronic warfare suite, custom designed as the baseline for advanced F-16 aircraft [10]. * The Falcon III® RF-7850A-MR Multi-channel Airborne Networking Radio, which is airborne certified and features two channels for simultaneous mission-critical voice, high-speed IP-networked data, and full motion video [10]. * The Vehicle-Agnostic Modular Palletized ISR Rocket Equipment (VAMPIRE™), a portable kit installable on most vehicles with a cargo bed for launching APKWS or other laser-guided munitions [10].
Regarding federal performance and acquisition policy, L3Harris advocates for raising the certified cost or pricing data threshold defined in the Truth in Negotiations Act (TINA) from \$2 million to \$500 million [12]. The company asserts that current certified cost and pricing data requirements add 1–2 years to the acquisition process for the majority of Department of Defense procurement dollars spent [[LINK:https://www.l3harris.com/newsroom/editorial/2025
