MELBOURNE, Fla., Sept. 30, 2024 — The U.S. Navy has awarded L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) a contract to perform depot maintenance, repair and overhaul support of the 135 aircraft P-8A Poseidon fleet specializing in maritime patrol and reconnaissance, long-range anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). 

L3Harris has provided decades of sustainment and modification support on the P-3 Orion – the predecessor platform to P-8 – across multiple customers, including the U.S. Navy and NOAA and to the militaries of Brazil, New Zealand and Republic of Korea. 

“We are proud of our longstanding tradition of providing the U.S. Navy with integration and sustainment solutions for mission success,” said Jason Lambert, President, ISR, L3Harris. “We also look forward to supporting the Navy’s international military partners as part of this new award.” 

Work on the P-8A Poseidon fleet will begin this year at L3Harris’ aircraft modification facility in Waco, Texas, and continue through September 2029.
