L3Harris Technologies is a defense contractor making communications equipment, electronic warfare systems, space technology and other military and intelligence hardware, formed through the merger of L3 Technologies and Harris Corporation. Its communications systems, including tactical radios used by military forces, build on a long legacy from Harris' original radio and broadcast equipment business, now applied to secure military and government communications needs. The company's space and airborne systems segment supplies satellites, sensors and related technology for both government space programs and the growing commercial and national security space sector. Like other defense contractors, L3Harris' revenue depends heavily on multi-year government contracts and defense budget appropriations, giving it long revenue visibility on major programs but also exposure to the political process determining defense spending levels.
