L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) is a large-cap U.S. aerospace and defense company headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, that delivers mission-critical solutions to government and commercial customers worldwide. Founded in 1895 and formerly known as Harris Corporation, the company adopted its current name in June 2019 following the merger of Harris and L3 Technologies. It operates through three reporting segments: Space & Mission Systems (satellites, payloads, missile warning, and civil government programs), Missile Solutions (propulsion and hypersonic missile technologies), and Communications & Spectrum Dominance (tactical radios, satellite terminals, night vision optics, and public safety communications).
As a prime and sub-tier contractor in the Aerospace & Defense sector, L3Harris derives a substantial share of its revenue from long-cycle U.S. Department of Defense programs, with additional exposure to federal agencies, allied governments, and commercial customers. The industry is characterized by multi-year program backlogs, high regulatory and certification barriers, and sensitivity to U.S. and allied defense budget trends.
