electronic warfare technical

Electronic warfare involves using technology to disrupt, deceive, or disable an opponent’s electronic systems, such as communication networks, radar, or navigation signals. It is like jamming or scrambling a radio or GPS to prevent others from receiving clear information. For investors, it matters because advances in electronic warfare can impact military capabilities, influence global security, and affect the stability of markets and technological investments.

hypersonics technical

Hypersonics are technologies that enable aircraft or missiles to travel at speeds greater than five times the speed of sound, requiring special materials, cooling and guidance systems to withstand extreme heat and stress. Investors watch hypersonics because they drive defense budgets, create specialized supplier markets, and can prompt export controls or rapid procurement shifts — think of it like backing companies that build the engine and heat‑proof body of an ultra‑fast vehicle.

MELBOURNE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Effective today, L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has reorganized its business structure from four to three business segments, more closely aligning its portfolio with the future of warfare.

The three business segments and leaders are as follows:

Space & Mission Systems, led by Sam Mehta

Missile Solutions, led by Ken Bedingfield

In addition, Ken Bedingfield will continue to serve as SVP & CFO, and Ed Zoiss has been appointed VP, Engineering & Innovation.

“This change thoughtfully organizes common business models, technical capabilities and investment priorities,” said Christopher Kubasik, Chairman and CEO, L3Harris. “Enabling the Arsenal of Freedom requires action, and we’re now best poised to deliver the speed, technology and commerciality required by our most important customer – the warfighter.”
