L3 Technologies, Inc.

L3 Technologies, Inc. L3 Telemetry & RF Products Division manufactures telemetry security products, encryptors, decryptors, transmitters, receivers, and encoders for Department of Defense agencies as a prime contractor on delivery orders and indefinite-delivery vehicles, competing exclusively through full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements. L3 Telemetry & RF Products is a manufacturing-focused division of L3 Technologies, Inc., a for-profit corporation based in Bristol, Pennsylvania, and a subsidiary of parent company L3Harris Technologies, Inc. The division competes in primary NAICS 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and delivers specialized secure communications and telemetry encryption solutions across the defense industrial base.

Customer concentration centers on Air Force and Navy test and evaluation infrastructure. The top five funding agencies account for 47% of recent awards: the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command leads by potential value with $117.9 million across 49 awards, followed by the Naval Air Systems Command / Naval Air Warfare Center ($23.6 million, 58 awards), the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center ($19.5 million, 121 awards), the Department of the Air Force proper ($14 million, 130 awards), and the DOD Missile Defense Agency ($5.5 million, 51 awards). The potential-value ranking differs significantly from award-count rankings — Materiel Command anchors 59% of the combined potential value despite representing only 5% of award volume, signaling large task orders against a single indefinite-delivery vehicle, while the Test Center and Air Force proper generate volume through smaller orders. The combined potential value across all 937 awards sits at $200.7 million, though obligated dollars total $359.8 million, indicating earlier awards have been funded above their stated ceilings.

L3 Telemetry & RF Products operates across five major indefinite-delivery contract vehicles. The largest is Indefinite Delivery Contract FA930212D0004, which carries 88 task orders valued at $15.7 million combined. Indefinite Delivery Contract FA930220D0012 holds 63 task orders worth $25.6 million, and Indefinite Delivery Contract FA930210D0010 carries 33 task orders worth $8.5 million. A Basic Ordering Agreement (F1963081D0010) supports 23 task orders, and Indefinite Delivery Contract FA930205D0002 accounts for 14 task orders worth $1.5 million. The source references a $64.2 million single-award IDIQ with Air Force Materiel Command for telemetry security products and accessories that has been the foundation for sustained task order volume across multiple defense agencies.

The division's recent award activity has grown sharply — seven awards in 2022 rose to fifty in 2024, with 41 awards in 2025 and one in 2026. However, only ten awards (combined potential value $2.7 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. Prime awards comprise 89% of the portfolio; the remaining 11% sub-award work routes through major defense primes including Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and Raytheon. Across subcontract relationships, L3 Telemetry & RF Products supplies telemetry encryptors, decoders, and encoders for weapons programs including the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD), Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM), Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM), Small Diameter Bomb, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), and Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) systems, as well as for hypersonic and advanced cruise missile development efforts.

Representative prime-contractor work includes a $10.7 million Air Force delivery order (awarded January 2022, completion May 2026) for telemetry security products and related services under Statement of Work KGR-750, a $2.3 million Air Force Materiel Command delivery order (August 2023, completion January 2026) for telemetry security products, and a $791 thousand Missile Defense Agency delivery order (March 2025, completion August 2026) for specialized telemetry encryptors, decryptors, transmitters, receivers, and related accessories supporting missile defense testing infrastructure. Subcontract activity under major primes is substantial: on the JASSM program alone, L3 has delivered telemetry encoders, ground decryptors, and related encryption modules to Lockheed Martin across dozens of modifications since 2023; on THAAD, the division supplies thermal chamber controllers and receiver components to Lockheed Martin; and on GBSD, it supplies communications equipment manufacturing support to Northrop Grumman.

Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal SCI-reportable federal services activity — one sub-award record in FY2024 representing 0.5 FTEs. This reflects L3 Telemetry & RF Products' orientation toward goods manufacturing and delivery-order task work rather than labor-intensive service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold. The division operates as a manufacturer and prime contractor on its own vehicles while also functioning as a critical subcontractor to the major defense primes, deepening its integration into classified missile and space vehicle development programs across the Department of Defense.
