L3Harris Technology Supports Successful Launch of NASA’s Roman Space Telescope

L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) announced that key technology developed by the company is aboard NASA’s successfully launched Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, marking the culmination of more than a decade of collaboration with NASA.

L3Harris supplied Roman’s 2.4-meter Optical Telescope Assembly, which serves as the observatory’s primary optical system. The company also provided radiation-hardened electronics designed to keep the telescope operating approximately 1 million miles from Earth.

Once operational, Roman is expected to survey the cosmos around 1,000 times faster than the Hubble Space Telescope. Its missions include mapping billions of galaxies, observing hundreds of millions of stars and potentially identifying more than 100,000 distant worlds.

The telescope will also scan roughly 12% of the sky in less than 18 months, helping scientists study the expansion of the universe and observe supernova explosions dating back as far as 8 billion years.

The successful launch reinforces L3Harris’ position in the space and defense technology sector, particularly in advanced optics and mission-critical space systems. The company has previously contributed technology to major programs including the James Webb Space Telescope, Mars Perseverance and Curiosity rovers, GPS satellites and the International Space Station.

L3Harris Promotes SKY RAIDER II as Lower-Cost Complement to Advanced Fighter Fleets

L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) is highlighting its SKY RAIDER II INTERNATIONAL aircraft as a way for international militaries to expand persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and light-strike capacity without consuming valuable flight hours from fourth- and fifth-generation fighters.

According to L3Harris, shifting routine missions from advanced fighters to SKY RAIDER II could save between $20,000 and $40,000 per flight hour. The aircraft is designed to handle missions where unmanned aircraft provide insufficient capability but deploying a high-end fighter would be unnecessarily expensive, preserving fighters for air defense and advanced strike missions.

SKY RAIDER II offers up to eight hours of endurance and 6,000 pounds of payload capacity across 11 hard points. Its modular architecture can integrate L3Harris technologies including Red Wolf long-range precision-strike systems, Green Wolf electronic-warfare capabilities and WESCAM electro-optical and infrared sensors.

The initiative reflects L3Harris’ push to position the platform as an affordable complement rather than a replacement for fighter aircraft. Growing defense spending and demand for lower-cost ISR, armed overwatch and precision-strike capacity could expand the international market opportunity for the platform and L3Harris’ associated sensors, electronic-warfare and weapons systems.

L3Harris and ARX Robotics Demonstrate Mobile Counter-Drone System

L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) and ARX Robotics UK demonstrated a new mobile counter-drone capability during the U.S. Army’s Project Convergence-Capstone 6.

The demonstration integrated L3Harris’ CORVUS-RAVEN counter-drone system with ARX Robotics’ remotely controlled GEREON uncrewed ground vehicle. The combination allows drone-detection sensors to be moved into forward or hazardous areas while keeping military personnel farther from potential threats.

CORVUS-RAVEN passively detects signals associated with drones, provides threat-bearing information and can also deliver electronic defeat capabilities. Its open architecture supports integration with command-and-control and battle-management systems.

For L3Harris, the demonstration highlights growing opportunities at the intersection of counter-drone technology, electronic warfare and autonomous ground systems. The companies said lessons from the exercise could support further integration of robotic platforms with counter-drone capabilities across future military missions.

L3Harris Advances Solid-Fueled Ramjet Technology for Next-Generation Missiles

L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has begun full-scale testing of its solid-fueled ramjet propulsion technology, advancing a new generation of high-speed missile systems designed to provide greater range, faster engagement and improved capability against advanced threats.

Testing at the company's Orange County, Virginia, facility demonstrated booster and solid-fueled ramjet performance in line with expectations. The internally funded program is intended for rapid integration into a family of multi-mission missiles.

Why the Development Matters for L3Harris

The technology could strengthen L3Harris' position in the expanding U.S. missile and advanced-weapons market.

Solid-fueled ramjet propulsion is designed to provide greater stand-off range and sustained high-speed performance. According to L3Harris, increased range allows forces to engage threats from greater distances, while higher speeds shorten an adversary's reaction time.

The company is developing the technology for several high-speed weapons applications, including long-range maneuverable interceptors and strike munitions. L3Harris is combining the propulsion system with advanced sensors, guidance technology and manufacturing capabilities, with an emphasis on modular designs that can be deployed from existing platforms.

Defense Demand Supports the Opportunity

The development comes as the U.S. military increasingly prioritizes longer-range, faster and more scalable missile systems capable of countering sophisticated airborne and missile threats.

Importantly, L3Harris is emphasizing not only performance but also cost-effective production at scale — an increasingly important requirement as the Pentagon seeks to expand missile inventories.

Additional ground tests are planned later in 2026. Successful testing and eventual integration into operational missile programs could create additional opportunities for L3Harris' Missile Solutions business as U.S. defense spending increasingly focuses on advanced propulsion, missile defense and long-range strike capabilities.

L3Harris Advances Next Generation Interceptor Program With Successful Rocket Motor Test

L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has successfully completed a hot-fire test of its stage-two advanced solid rocket motor for the Missile Defense Agency’s Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) program.

The test, conducted as part of Lockheed Martin’s NGI team, validated the motor’s design through a full-duration burn in a simulated high-altitude vacuum environment. The results will support additional testing planned later this year and preparations for the program’s first flight test.

L3Harris is a key propulsion and control systems supplier for NGI, producing both stage-one and stage-two solid rocket motors as well as attitude and divert control systems used for precision maneuvering during missile interception.

The milestone strengthens L3Harris’ position in U.S. missile-defense programs as the company continues expanding propulsion production capacity. NGI is being developed as a next-generation component of U.S. homeland missile defense against advanced ballistic missile threats.
