L3Harris Technologies, Inc.

L3Harris Technologies, Inc. Space and Airborne Systems Division operates as a prime contractor supplying radar systems, avionics, antenna assemblies, bomb rack units, and electronic components to defense and civilian federal agencies across multiple indefinite delivery vehicles and discrete purchase orders.

L3Harris Technologies, Inc. is a large for-profit defense contractor headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, with the Space and Airborne Systems Division based in Amityville, New York. The division is a subsidiary of the parent L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and competes on full-and-open federal procurements without reliance on small-business set-asides. Primary NAICS categories include aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing, electronic component manufacturing, and search-detection-navigation-guidance system manufacturing. The vendor's capability footprint centers on manufacturing and repair of radar systems (particularly multi-mode radar), antenna products, bomb rack units, electronic control assemblies, sonobuoy launchers, and specialized aerospace electronic components. Representative work includes a $40.2 million definitive contract from Naval Air Systems Command in July 2025 for 31 P-8A Poseidon bomb rack unit ship sets (75A and 76A models) for delivery through August 2030; a $4.756 million delivery order from Naval Air Systems Command in January 2024 for P-8A Poseidon sonobuoy rotary launcher lower tray retrofit components with performance through September 2027; and a $59.1 million single-award indefinite delivery contract from NOAA awarded February 2026 for procurement of AN/APY-11 multi-mode radar systems for C-130J aircraft integration through February 2031.

Customer concentration is significant and defense-focused. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 81% of recent awards, led by Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (443 awards, $118.1 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (380 awards, $112.1 million), and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (316 awards, $30.8 million). By potential value, the Air Force Materiel Command Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex anchors the portfolio with 8 awards valued at $920.6 million, followed by Air Force Sustainment Center (137 awards, $494.6 million) and Naval Air Systems Command (64 awards, $334.2 million). The Coast Guard (99 awards, $215.4 million) represents the only significant non-Department of Defense customer. This concentration reflects the division's established role as a sustaining supplier for military aircraft platforms and weapons systems integration.

The Space and Airborne Systems Division holds multiple prime indefinite delivery vehicles. A $36.3 million single-award IDC with the Coast Guard (through December 2026) covers repair of multi-mode radar systems and components for C-130 aircraft. A $3.01 million single-award IDC with Air Force Materiel Command covers repair of Defense Automatic Test Equipment, Augmentation Equipment, Digital Interface Group, and Radar Electronic Warfare systems at multiple Air Force bases through September 2028. A $12.1 million single-award IDC with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime provides antenna products and related electronic components. A $9.5 million single-award IDIQ with NOAA's Aircraft Operations Center covers multi-mode radar repair and engineering services through December 2031. A $1.09 million single-award IDC with Air Force Sustainment Center covers 28V power supply assembly procurement through September 2030. Additional vehicles include a Naval Supply Systems Command Basic Ordering Agreement for P-8 Poseidon and I-CAP II repair parts through December 2029 carrying zero ceiling (meaning specific dollars flow through task orders). The basic ordering agreement structure and multiple single-award IDCs with technical repair specialties reflect the vendor's locked-in position as original equipment manufacturer or sole technical provider on legacy platforms.

Activity trajectory shows fluctuation at elevated levels—65 awards in 2022, 67 in 2023, 95 in 2024, 55 in 2025, and 15 so far in 2026 (partial-year). The 2024 peak reflects increased ordering velocity across DLA and Naval Supply Systems Command. Within the next twenty-four months, 57 awards carry ultimate completion dates and combined potential value of $202 million, representing significant recompete exposure on maintenance and sustainment work across Coast Guard radar repair, Air Force test equipment repair, and Naval platform support contracts.

Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal reportable service contract activity—zero invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024 and approximately 0.1 FTEs in FY2024. SCI is a partial view capturing only federal service contracts above $150,000; the vendor's federal revenue is concentrated in goods manufacturing and delivery orders rather than labor-intensive services, and most work is classified or below the SCI reporting threshold.

The Space and Airborne Systems Division operates predominantly as a prime contractor (98% of awards) with minimal subcontract engagement (2%). When subcontracting occurs, the vendor partners with Boeing (on P-8A systems work), Lockheed Martin (on bomb rack unit and weapons launcher development), General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (on MQ-9 bomb rack units), and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (on P-3 aircraft support and test equipment). These relationships reflect teaming on large aerospace primes rather than reliance on subs for delivery. Named sub-award examples include P-8A Muos SATCOM incorporation with Boeing, P-3 aircraft logistics support with Northrop Grumman, and MQ-9 Reaper foreign military sales bomb rack units with General Atomics.

The division's federal footprint is shaped by established technical monopolies on radar repair, bomb rack units, and avionics across Coast Guard C-130 platforms and Naval P-8A/P-3 aircraft, enabling recurring sole-source and single-award-vehicle work with limited recompete risk on technical grounds.
