About this award

L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems L.P. was awarded a delivery order valued at $40.96 million on November 18, 2016, under the BIG SAFARI program for the ACAT III UK RC-135 EFIS (Electronic Flight Information System) modification project. This cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, funded by the Aeronautical Systems Center (a Defense agency), was performed in Greenville, Texas, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2021. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting L3Harris' status as a large business capable of competing for complex defense procurements. The BIG SAFARI program, managed by the Air Force, specializes in rapid acquisition and fielding of innovative technologies for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms, with this particular delivery order focused on modernizing the avionics systems of the RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft.

L3Harris leveraged a robust subcontractor base to execute this modernization effort, including Universal Avionics Systems Corp for avionics and navigation equipment, Collins Aerospace Government Systems for communications and antenna systems, Aero Precision Industries LLC for microwave components, L3Harris Aviation Products Inc. for aviation components and connectors, and CMC Electronics Inc. for aircraft manufacturing support. These subcontractors, selected across multiple award dates between March 2016 and March 2021, collectively provided specialized expertise in flight management systems, electronic warfare components, precision avionics, and advanced communications technologies required for the RC-135 EFIS upgrade. The contract structure reflects the complexity of modernizing legacy intelligence collection platforms while maintaining operational capability and schedule performance.
