HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The Army encourages soldiers to “train as you fight,” a sentiment that reflects the importance of simulating real-world scenarios to battle-harden our defenses. We must ensure that whatever fight might ultimately come isn’t a fair one for our adversaries. America’s missile warning and defense systems demand this kind of readiness to ensure we protect the homeland.
The U.S. will need the ability to quickly test new missile defense systems in order to field them at the speed of relevance to accelerating threats. L3Harris’ commitment to advancing defense technology is built on the foundation of high-stakes testing environments, precise target development and a proud legacy of delivering propulsion to power the nation’s tactical, strategic, air and missile defense systems.
From THAAD to PAC-3 and Standard Missile, our propulsion powers some of the world’s most effective missile platforms. In fact, we’re the leading propulsion provider for all the Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA) interceptor programs currently in production. To ensure these critical systems — and those systems yet to be developed — work every time, we must have a robust testing infrastructure.
Today, L3Harris provides missile defense targets and in-house testing for a wide range of systems.
