Built on Legacy.

This is not a new mission for us, it's an extension of what we already do. Our production sites have a legacy of modernizing critical aircraft, providing tailored mission solutions and extending fleet longevity for multiple customers. We're already delivering missionized, upgraded and modernized platforms for the U.S. Air Force and other international customers.

Our systems are integrated onto the RC-135 aircraft. L3Harris ensures these aircraft remain operationally relevant and mission-ready through system upgrades for both the U.S. Air Force and United Kingdom Royal Air Force fleets.
