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.

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.
