L3Harris Technologies has been selected as a subcontractor to provide assured communications support for the U.S. Air Force’s E-4C fleet under the Survivable Airborne Operations Center programme. The work is part of a programme led by SNC, with engineering and manufacturing development awarded to L3Harris by SNC subcontractor Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, over a five-year period.

 

As part of the SNC-led team, L3Harris will support communication-suite integration for the specialised aircraft. The company will apply its experience in air, ground and space communications, including 15 years supporting the E-4B fleet, to deliver new resilient technologies for critical command-and-control missions.

 

 

“L3Harris will provide upgraded, state-of-the-art capabilities to ensure the E-4C fleet can successfully execute any mission,” said Lauren Barnes, President, Broadband Communications Systems, L3Harris. “Our open-system technology and vast portfolio of resilient waveforms will support seamless software upgrades and longevity for this vital program well into the future.”

 

 

The programme continues L3Harris’ aerial capability support for the Department of War. This includes leadership roles in the Advanced Battle Management System and Next-Generation Jammer – Low Band programmes, as well as delivering advanced electronic warfare technology for the F-16 Falcon, EA-37B Compass Call and B-2 Spirit fleets.
