L3Harris Demonstrates Interoperable Network to Unify Department of War and U.S. Government Agencies

Key Terms

counter-UAS technical

Counter-UAS (counter-unmanned aircraft systems) are tools and tactics used to detect, track, and disable or divert drones that pose a threat to people, property, or operations. Think of them as a combination of a security camera, alarm system, and net that can find an unwanted flying device and stop it before it causes harm. Investors care because demand, regulation, and deployment of these systems affect revenue, contract opportunities, legal risk, and the valuation of companies that build or use them.

5G technical

5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology that provides faster internet connections, lower latency, and greater capacity than previous networks. It enables quicker downloads, smoother streaming, and more reliable connections for devices. For investors, 5G represents a significant upgrade in technology infrastructure that can drive growth in related industries such as smartphones, smart cities, and the Internet of Things.

command-and-control technical

"Command-and-control" describes a system where authority is centralized, and decisions are made by a single leader or a small group that directs how activities are carried out. In financial or organizational contexts, it means strict oversight and top-down management, leaving little room for individual discretion. For investors, it highlights how power and decision-making influence the stability, efficiency, and flexibility of an organization or market.

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) hosted U.S. government officials for a first-of-its-kind demonstration of software-defined capabilities that enable separate federal agencies to communicate instantly across domains.

The full-scale, end-to-end demonstration united tactical communications devices, counter-UAS capabilities, advanced imaging technologies and mobile operations centers with command-and-control systems, successfully illustrating unmatched connectivity and rapid response to national security threats.

“We’re answering Secretary Hegseth’s call to secure our borders and protect the homeland with interoperable capabilities that are more advanced than anything on the market,” said Sam Mehta, President, Communication Systems, L3Harris. “We know that speed wins and hesitation loses, and our commercial business model enables delivery of these capabilities into warfighters’ hands in weeks, not years.”

Key technologies highlighted in the demonstration included T-HAWC, the AN/PRC-158C software-defined data device and 5G gateway solutions. The interconnected systems used a mix of public safety and tactical radios across manned and unmanned assets – a necessity for today’s complex environment.

These resilient, multi-path solutions maintain connectivity even in degraded and contested conditions for the Department of War, other federal agencies, and during disaster response and large-scale events.
