Modifications and Upgrades

L3Harris offers an extensive experience and capability to carry out cost-effective and timely equipment modifications and upgrades, from the simplest adjustments to the most in-depth, complex and deep-depot life-extension modifications.  

We have the proven ability to manage the entire modification/upgrade cycle, from the non-recurring development, prototyping, validation/verification and certification, to the kit manufacturing/assembly and the complete embodiment on the platform. We also have a proven process to effectively manage any non-conformances or unforeseen problems during the installation. Alternatively, we also have vast experience in implementing ‘off-the-shelf’, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) modifications and upgrades.

This following credentials distinguish us from the competition in managing modifications and upgrades: 

• A skilled and seasoned Integrated Product Team (IPT) approach encompassing subject matter experts from Operations, Programs, Engineering, Supply Chain and Quality
• Well-equipped facilities, tools, equipment and technology complemented by a highly proficient workforce
• A seasoned engineering workforce with experience in aircraft maintenance, modifications, inspections, repairs and support functions (including liaison engineering)
• A largely independent supply chain and in-house manufacturing capability
• Proven innovation, like robotic technology, for efficient depot-level modifications and upgrades
• Mature and effective processes and tools that facilitate on-time schedule performance
• A commitment to continuous process improvement and quality performance
