L3Harris Fuzing And Ordnance Systems, Inc.

L3Harris Fuzing And Ordnance Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of L3 Technologies, Inc., manufactures fuzes, safety and arming devices, and ordnance components for U.S. military munitions and missile systems as a prime contractor on Army and Navy programs, with no SBA set-aside designations across its portfolio. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, the division operates as a for-profit manufacturer competing in full-and-open federal markets across NAICS categories dominated by ammunition and guided missile component manufacturing.

L3Harris Fuzing And Ordnance Systems holds a dominant position supplying electronic timing fuzes, multi-option mortar fuzes, and proximity-sensing ordnance components to the Department of Defense. Recent representative work includes a $38.5 million delivery order from the Program Executive Office (PEO) Ammunition for M734A1 fuzes (completion October 2028), a $4.92 million order from Aviation and Missile Command for safety and arming devices (completion November 2028), a $14.9 million definitive contract from Ogden Air Logistics Complex for fuzing and ordnance components (completion October 2026), and a $20.1 million PEO Ammunition delivery order for M734A1/M783 mortar fuzes (completion January 2028). The division also holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $871.6 million from PEO Ammunition for M762A1 and M767A1 electronic timing fuzes running through January 2029, and a $412.8 million multiple-award IDIQ for M734A1 Multi-Option and M783 Point Detonating/Delay mortar fuzes completing March 2028. A newly awarded single-award IDC from Aviation and Missile Command carries an $18.5 million ceiling for safety and arming device production through January 2031.

Customer concentration centers on Army ammunition and missile programs. PEO Ammunition represents 36 awards valued at $3.8 billion in combined potential value, dominating the dollar rankings; the broader Department of the Army accounts for 239 awards with $661.2 million combined potential value. Naval programs follow, including Naval Air Warfare Center and Naval Sea Systems Command orders. Across the portfolio, 68% of recent awards cluster within the top five customer organizations. The recompete cliff shows six awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carrying $2.29 billion in combined potential value, representing significant recompete exposure concentrated on the two large electronic timing fuze IDCs.

L3Harris Fuzing And Ordnance Systems sits on three primary vehicle platforms. The M734A1 Multi-Option and M783 Point Detonating/Delay Mortar Fuze multiple-award IDIQ has issued multiple delivery orders totaling over $166 million. The M762A1 and M767A1 electronic timing fuze single-award IDC carries the highest dollar concentration, with delivery orders exceeding $1.7 billion issued since January 2024. The new Safety and Arming Device single-award IDC from AMCOM adds platform depth for spare-parts and new-production orders. Additional IDCs under Army Contracting Command support ammunition procurement at Aberdeen Proving Ground and other Army depots.

In its subcontractor role, L3Harris Fuzing And Ordnance Systems supplies fuzes, detonators, initiators, pyrotechnic devices, and electronic safe-and-arm assemblies to major defense primes including Raytheon Company, Lockheed Martin Corporation, The Boeing Company, and General Dynamics-OTS, Inc. Sub work spans air-to-surface and air-to-ground missile programs (JASSM, LJDAM, AGM-158, Hellfire, PRSM, GMLRS), counter-UAS interceptor systems (Coyote), naval weapons (AIM-9X, RAM), and rotary-wing rocket systems (Hydra 70). The subcontract footprint reflects L3Harris Fuzing's position as a specialized fuzing and ordnance-component supplier embedded across the full-rate production lifecycle of multiple strategic platforms.

Activity grew significantly from twenty awards in 2022 to fifty-eight awards in 2024, then moderated to forty-one in 2025. The recent trajectory reflects sustained demand for ammunition and missile-component production amid Army modernization and Navy capability refresh. The vendor's award portfolio spans 580 total awards (76% prime, 24% sub) with $5.05 billion in combined potential value and $2.57 billion obligated to date. Top NAICS concentrations include Ammunition Manufacturing (114 awards) and Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing (67 awards), with the Fuzes And Primers PSC category carrying 104 awards and Guided Missile Warheads and Explosive Components holding 69 awards.
