The Katowice facility is equipped with tooling to produce the EMX-Series line of EO/IR sensor systems for military operations, including counter-unmanned system missions. It has been designed to expand production capacity quickly in support of Europe’s Readiness 2030 and Security Action for Europe initiatives.
“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.”
The company said the Katowice site will allow it to accelerate multi-sensor capacity and reduce delivery lead times across Europe, with technicians providing production, repair services and product support. L3Harris also maintains offices in Warsaw and wider manufacturing operations across Europe.
In 2025, L3Harris announced the global delivery of its 8,000th WESCAM MX-Series system. In Europe alone, more than 1,400 systems have been supplied across 32 countries and integrated onto over 119 different platforms.
