MELBOURNE, Fla., July 21, 2025 — L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has received a $300 million contract from Italy to deliver two Gulfstream G550 aircraft provisioned for a modern electromagnetic warfare system. L3Harris is partnering with BAE Systems on this solution, which represents the first time the U.S. government has approved an EA-37B sale to an international ally.
The modified G550 with electromagnetic attack capabilities will provide the Italian Air Force with an airborne jamming ability with range, altitude and endurance to disrupt enemy command and control communications, radars and navigation systems from an extended distance.
“We are expanding our support of Italy’s armed forces by equipping them with modern mission technology ready for managing a dynamic global landscape,” said Jason Lambert, President, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, L3Harris. “Our team will provide Italy with solutions to augment its national security and increase its interoperability with the U.S. and strategic allies.”
Once complete, the aircraft will join the Italian Ministry of Defence’s fleet of special mission aircraft along with the Joint Airborne Multi-Mission Multi-Sensor System (JAMMS) effort to advance the country’s airborne capabilities. L3Harris is currently modifying two G550 ISR aircraft under JAMMS.
The JAMMS effort is another of L3Harris’ growing portfolio of multi-mission aircraft solutions hosted on a variety of commercial platforms, which support critical global security missions for the U.S., Australia, Canada, Japan, Republic of Korea and other allies.
L3Harris has integrated aircraft for more than 70 years and has missionized aircraft from more than 10 original equipment manufacturers, consisting of over 125 aircraft types with more than 15,000 deliveries. The company has fielded 103 missionized business jet aircraft to date.
