Missile Warning and Defense

Features and Benefits

  • End-to-end capabilities that support responsive space missions, including, bus, payload, engineering design, mission planning, integration, testing, launch, operations and deliverable intelligence
  • Secure and scalable ground infrastructure provides command and control of responsive space constellations as well as data processing
  • Mission-defining sensor technology provides critical missile detection with precision infrared imaging technology that can be produced at volume
  • Production capabilities built upon years of space mission experience but with the commercial speed of a nontraditional vendor
  • Experience launching reconfigurable, multi-mission, software-defined payloads at scale
  • Record of cost-effectively meeting right-sized performance requirements and balance lifecycle costs across an entire smallsat constellation architecture
  • Years of delivering essential payloads in multiple orbits to U.S. Department of Defense

Multi-Layered, Multi-Domain Solutions

In an increasingly contested space environment, a multi-layered approach can significantly reduce risk along the threat-elimination chain.

Additional Resources

The U.S. is in a hypersonic arms race against Russia and China. As our near-peer adversaries develop and deploy advanced missiles, the ability to detect these lethal weapons has become crucial for the safety of our country and our allies. L3Harris is answering the call to rapidly deliver mission-critical missile defense capabilities to our nation's warfighters by merging our forward-leaning digital engineering approach, deep mission knowledge and expertise in infrared imaging.
