L3Harris Begins Sensor System Manufacturing in Poland

KATOWICE, Poland, Aug. 25, 2025 — L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has begun manufacturing electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor systems at a 2,000-square-meter facility in Katowice. The facility provides European operators with intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting sensors for crewed and autonomous platforms. 

The facility is equipped with tooling equipment to produce an EMX-Series line of EO/IR sensor systems for military operations across domains including counter-unmanned system missions. The site can quickly expand production to meet the requirements of Europe’s Readiness 2030 and Security Action for Europe initiatives addressing security threats.

“The new realities of today’s contested environments demand rapid delivery of proven solutions,” said Tom Kirkland, Vice President and General Manager, Targeting & Sensor Systems, L3Harris. “Our ability to manufacture and deliver EMX-Series EO/IR systems in Europe enables our customers to remain at peak operational readiness as we continue to build strong and strategic local partnerships.” 

L3Harris plans to accelerate multi-sensor capacity and reduce lead times for delivery across Europe with a team of technicians providing production, repair services and product support.

The company’s presence includes offices in Warsaw and significant manufacturing across Europe. In 2025, the company announced the delivery of its 8,000th WESCAM MX-Series system globally. In Europe, L3Harris has delivered over 1,400 systems in over 32 countries for integration on more than 119 different platforms.
