ROME, July 24, 2025 — L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has partnered with ELT Group, the Italian global leader in electromagnetic spectrum operations, to establish a multi-sensor test facility for commercial, military and government programs.
This collaboration marks the first time an Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) test and calibration facility of this type will be available outside of the United States. L3Harris and ELT Group will work together to create an in-country center of excellence for the Italian military and allied nations.
