L3Harris Delivers Multi-Intelligence Aircraft to US Air Force

GREENVILLE, Texas, Jan. 24, 2026 — L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has delivered the first MC-55A aircraft to the U.S. Air Force, following integration and mission system testing as part of Australia’s new Peregrine fleet. 

The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) is acquiring missionized business jets through a U.S. foreign military sales program that will provide Australia with airborne electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities in support of multi-domain operations for the country and coalition forces. 

“The MC-55A Peregrine will be a force multiplier in delivering critical data for long-range targeting, regional deployments and effective mission planning,” said Jason Lambert, President, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Space and Mission Systems, L3Harris. “The specialized aircraft will give the RAAF information superiority and serve as strategic assets for future Australian Defence Force operations.”  

The first aircraft has been delivered by the U.S. Air Force to the RAAF, and follow-on aircraft will remain in the Air Force’s possession while supporting RAAF training and pre-delivery requirements. L3Harris has established a field service team in Australia to work alongside local industry partners for in-country support. Ongoing software and hardware upgrades will help ensure the Peregrine stays ready to meet evolving threats and future mission needs.
