Harris Corporation and L3 Technologies have completed the all-stock
merger between the two companies. The combined company is called L3Harris Technologies, and it will be the sixth largest defense company in the U.S.
The new company will have approximately $17 billion in revenue and 50,000 employees.
The
company announced on Monday that it has organized its businesses into
four segments including Integrated Mission Systems, Space and Airborne
Systems, Communication Systems, and Aviation Systems.
The Communication Systems Division will be led by Dana Mehnert, and it will be headquartered in Rochester.
Harris
has more than 3,500 employees in the Rochester area in the
Communications segment and the Space and Intelligent Systems business.
There are nearly 200 employees who work for L3 Technologies in Victor.
Last
fall, Senator Chuck Schumer said that he had talked with Harris CEO
William Brown and the senator said that Brown told him he was committed
to keeping the number of employees now employed by Harris in the
Rochester area with the possibility that number will grow.
With
the new management structure, Brown will serve as Chairman and CEO of
L3 Harris, with Christopher Kubasik serving at Vice Chairman, President
and COO.
The plan, as outlined last year, would see
Brown serving as Chairman and CEO for the first two years; after that,
Brown would become Executive Chairman and Kubasik becomes Chairman and
CEO. Following that time, Kubasik becomes both Chairman and CEO.
L3Harris Technologies will trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol ‘LHX.’

Against Whom?
MELBOURNE, Fla. — L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) received a $125
million multi-year contract to produce space electronic warfare systems
that safeguard U.S. military operations and warfighters.
Under the Meadowlands production program, L3Harris will upgrade 16
Block 10.2 versions of Counter-Communications Systems (CCS) operating in
Peterson Space Force Base, Colo., Vandenburg Space Force Base, Calif.,
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., and multiple international
locations.
“Successful space operations depend on dominating the electromagnetic
spectrum,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems,
L3Harris. “Denying our enemies the ability to use their space assets
protects U.S. warfighter operations.”
The current generation CCS Block 10.2, also developed by L3Harris,
reached Initial Operating Capability in March 2020, making it the first
offensive weapon system accepted by the US Space Force. L3Harris began
development of the next-generation Meadowlands upgrade in 2019 under the
Combat Mission Systems Support contract.
CCS Block 10.2 is the Space Force’s only ground-based space control
platform providing warfighters with modular open-standards for
electronic warfare. L3Harris is at the forefront of providing tools that
enable or deny the electromagnetic spectrum in the contested
environment. Meadowlands is just one of a number of capabilities offered
by the company that protect U.S. forces and ensure any potential
adversaries are at a disadvantage in the space domain.
