L3Harris awarded $876 million Navy contract for jammer system work
L3Harris Technologies Inc. has secured a substantial $876.4 million contract extension from the U.S. Department of War to further develop the Next Generation Jammer Low Band system. This cost-plus-incentive-fee modification enriches the company's existing agreement to involve system creation, delivery of test article pods, cybersecurity upgrades, and support services for both the U.S. Navy and Royal Australian Air Force.
The project's work will be dispersed across numerous states, with Salt Lake City in Utah taking up 43% of the tasks, Hollywood, Alabama accounting for 14.8%, and other locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Colorado, California, Texas, New York, and Australia. The initiative encompasses non-recurring tooling and equipment, system security development, and product logistics support.
The contract is set to conclude in fiscal year 2031. The Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, Maryland, will allocate $3.7 million in fiscal year 2026 Navy research and development funds, alongside $23 million in cooperative funds from the Royal Australian Air Force at the time of award. This modification was granted without a competitive bidding process.
