US Space Force Declares L3Harris’ ATLAS Mission Ready, Advancing Space Domain Awareness and Strengthening Space Superiority

MELBOURNE, Fla., Sept. 30, 2025 — The U.S. Space Force has declared operational acceptance of the Advanced Tracking and Launch Analysis System (ATLAS) designed and built by L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX).

“This pivotal milestone aligns with Chief of Space Operations Gen. B. Chance Saltzman’s top priorities at the Space Force to help ensure space superiority, an essential element of our country’s national security,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. “The Space Force requires timely, accurate and relevant information to avoid operational surprise, and ATLAS meets this demand by providing essential and actionable space domain awareness.” 

ATLAS successfully integrates space domain awareness, space command and control (C2), intelligence and operational and system readiness-relevant data to enable warfighters to successfully respond to emerging anti-satellite threats.

Earlier this year, L3Harris was selected to continue the development, integration and delivery of tools that will improve the capabilities of ATLAS, such as modernizing C2 by improving tracking of satellites and space debris. 

L3Harris has provided solutions for the nation’s space superiority mission for decades, contributing to the protection of assets and to warfighter readiness.
