L3Harris Nexgen Communications LLC

L3Harris Nexgen Communications LLC, doing business as Impact Science & Technology, is a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. that manufactures specialized communications equipment, electronic warfare modules, and sensor systems for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards), competing exclusively full-and-open with no set-aside posture. Based in Herndon, Virginia, the company operates across NAICS codes centered on search-and-detection system manufacturing (50 awards), engineering services (23 awards), and communications equipment manufacturing (15 awards), with primary PSC concentration in electronic countermeasures and counter-countermeasures equipment (61 awards).

L3Harris Nexgen's federal customer base is heavily concentrated in naval and special operations platforms. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command leads by dollar value (24 awards, $2.29 billion combined potential value), while the U.S. Special Operations Command leads by award volume (69 awards, $597.3 million combined potential value). The Office of Naval Research follows (24 awards, $336.3 million), with the Department of the Army Materiel Command (11 awards, $248.5 million) and the Naval Air Warfare Center (12 awards, $16.8 million) completing the top-five customer set covering 98% of combined potential value across the recent award portfolio. Navy dominates both volume and dollars — Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Research together represent $2.63 billion of the vendor's $3.57 billion combined portfolio.

The company holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Office of Naval Research valued at $177.3 million (through November 18, 2026) for research and development, conceptual design, and engineering of Electrical Power System (EPS) experimental payload systems for naval platform installation. Five delivery orders totaling approximately $157.5 million have been issued under this IDV to date, progressing from engineering development models ($4.7 million, October 2022) through prototype modification and embarkable prototype systems ($32.2 million, November 2023) to production-ready engineering systems for final product design ($46.5 million, February 2025 and $66.3 million, December 2025). Additional top parent vehicles include Navy IDCs for specialized modules and equipment (H9225420D0001: 24 task orders, $26.7 million; H9240221D0001: 12 task orders, $39.3 million) and delivery orders issued under USSOCOM's broader specialized-application-module and electronic-countermeasures vehicles. Recent representative work includes a $6.1 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from USSOCOM for Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (CUAS) SAM A-Kits (September 2025), a $3.3 million delivery order for electronic countermeasures FY25 equipment (July 2025), and a $2.01 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from Air Mobility Command for FY25 engineering support services (September 2024).

Activity has remained steady over the past five years (12 awards in 2022 through 17 in 2024), with three awards worth a combined potential value of $53.4 million facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, positioning the vendor to pursue recompetes on ONR EPS programs and USSOCOM SAM module vehicles. L3Harris Nexgen operates primarily as a systems integrator and prime contractor, with the company engaging qualified subcontractors including ITT Cannon LLC (circuit card assemblies and connectors), Circuit Technology LLC (circuit card assemblies), General Dynamics Information Technology (integration and technical support), Teledyne Storm Microwave (RF cable assemblies), X-Microwave LLC (RF amplifiers and microwave components), and precision manufacturers such as TCS Industries (machining and fabrication), Gorilla Circuits (circuit card assemblies), and C & H Machine (housings and mechanical components) to fulfill specialized requirements across RF, mechanical, and fabrication domains. The vendor also serves as a subcontractor to George Mason University on the MUDLAN (Mobile Unmanned/Manned Distributed Lethality Airborne Network) Accelerated Development and Demonstrations (MADD) research effort, with multiple subawards issued between March 2025 and January 2026 supporting Marine Air-Ground Task Force networking and advanced technology insertion work. Service Contract Inventory reports minimal SCI-reportable activity — two subcontractor records spanning FY2022–FY2024 covering 11.2 FTEs (FY2022) and 1.3 FTEs (FY2024) — indicating the vendor's federal revenue profile is dominated by goods delivery and system-integration work rather than labor-hour service contracts.
