L3Harris Technologies has outlined its expanding portfolio of counter unmanned autonomous system solutions as NATO faces rising drone activity and the need for cost effective, tiered defences. The company says scalable technologies are essential to help allies respond to incidents where high value interceptors are unsuitable for low cost threats.

 

The firm highlights a suite of defensive and offensive systems designed to operate across air, land and sea domains. According to L3Harris, these capabilities provide comprehensive protection and support NATO forces as they adapt to modern warfare.

“Our counter-UAS systems have been rigorously battle-tested, successfully neutralizing hundreds of hostile drone attacks during combat operations,” said Ed Zoiss, President of Space and Airborne Systems at L3Harris. “We are fully equipped with proven, purpose-built, scalable and interoperable solutions that address the evolving challenges of modern warfare and are ready for immediate deployment.” He said the technologies are designed for rapid fielding.



The company’s portfolio includes CORVUS-RAVEN and Drone Guardian, which provide passive signal detection, real time situational awareness and sensor fusion for layered defence. L3Harris says CORVUS-RAVEN uses onboard jamming to detect, disrupt and disorientate targets while Drone Guardian supports scalable responses to emerging threats.

L3Harris also promotes its Red Wolf and Green Wolf platforms, which enable forces to strike hostile drones at source and move from a defensive posture to an offensive one. The company says these systems offer both kinetic and electronic warfare options and operate across fixed wing, rotary wing, UAV, ground and maritime platforms.

The VAMPIRE system, already in service in Europe, is described by L3Harris as an affordable and compact ISR and counter unmanned system platform. Since 2023, the company reports that it has defeated hundreds of hostile drones, delivering precision strike capabilities with configurable sensors and weapons.

L3Harris has expanded VAMPIRE with WESCAM MX-Series targeting sensors, electronic jammers and non kinetic effectors, supported by new AI and machine learning functions. The company says production is being increased to meet growing demand after the system was initially fielded in less than eight months.

WESCAM MX-10D RSTA provides stabilised multi spectral imaging and AI enabled detection for amphibious, armoured combat, reconnaissance and counter-UAS vehicles. L3Harris says its new facility in Katowice, Poland supports fast delivery and sustained fleet readiness across the MX-Series.



The firm’s Nimble Finch and Nimble Finch PRO platforms deliver high power jamming effects intended to secure missions and protect personnel. L3Harris notes that both systems can integrate with third party technologies to keep pace with evolving operational challenges.

According to the company, NATO partners stand to benefit from these integrated capabilities, helping ensure wide area coverage and strong force protection. L3Harris states that its field proven technologies demonstrate readiness to meet the demands of today’s security environment.
