Airborne Mission Operations

L3Harris has deployed mission teams worldwide for over 25 years.

Our experience encompasses both sides of the customer — service provider relationship. Although the missions are quite varied, the keys to successful mission operations are the same: planning, logistics and customer focus.

Successful mission planning requires an understanding of the customer's requirements and the type of data desired, as well as the skill to marry those requirements to the capabilities of the team and equipment. Our team leaders and team members work closely with customers to understand their data collection goals and mission requirements to develop and execute detailed mission planning.
