The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory has awarded L3Harris a $5.7 million contract to integrate a low-Earth orbit terminal into rotary-wing aircraft to further advance aerial communications capability.

On January 31, 2021, L3Harris inducted a green Bombardier Global business jet into its Waco, Texas aircraft modification center. Less than six months later, the aircraft completed its first flight as a newly missionized U.S. Army Airborne Reconnaissance and Electronic Warfare System (ARES).

L3Harris Technologies will modernize the U.S. Air Force B-52 aircraft to protect aircrew from enemy radar threats under a new 10-year, sole-source $947 million IDIQ contract.
