Now in the field and trusted by over 700,000 soldiers worldwide, the L3Harris Falcon family of radios delivers network-centric communications for superior command and control. Battle-proven for secure, reliable mission-critical voice, data and video, Falcon handheld, manpack and in-vehicle solutions connect the echelon from the tactical edge to the aerial tier. Engineered to adapt along with present and future mission needs, our software-defined radios interoperate with a wide range of legacy systems and waveforms, and their high-speed, high-bandwidth features enable seamless transitions to emerging applications.
The new orders are expected to be delivered this year, continuing the company’s decades-long support of the German armed forces. L3Harris received multiple orders under the D-LBO program. L3Harris will continue providing its German customer with in-region support and expertise. L3Harris Technologies received multiple orders expected to total $214 million under Germany’s Digitalization – Land Based Operations (D-LBO) program. These orders include delivery of interoperable communication systems to enhance the operational capabilities of the German armed forces. L3Harris’ resilient communications solutions leverage battle-tested hardware and robust waveform technology, which support the D-LBO program’s objective for German armed forces to be more operationally efficient and coalition interoperable.
“The battle-tested Falcon systems will enhance German forces’ secure, interoperable communications with European Union and NATO allies,” said Chris Aebli, President, Mission Critical Communications, Communications & Spectrum Dominance, L3Harris. “These software-defined systems and robust waveforms will give German soldiers and special operators more reliable connectivity under any circumstance – in all regions of the world – with the flexibility to add capability, as needed, through simple software updates.”
L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has been selected by the U.S. Army to deliver VAMPIRE™ counter-unmanned systems (c-UxS) to support urgent defense against hostile drones. The Army’s order is worth up to $106 million as part of the United States’ layered c-UxS defense approach. The VAMPIRE capability is a self-contained weapons solution that delivers advanced reconnaissance and precision strike against drones and remotely piloted aircraft. Military forces have used the technology extensively in support of European combat operations, logging more than 350,000 operational hours since 2023. L3Harris developed and invested in VAMPIRE at the beginning of the war in Ukraine to provide a low-cost solution to eliminate Russian drone threats. In 2026, L3Harris initiated high-volume production of the VAMPIRE system in Huntsville, Alabama. The new production line is a direct response to the United States and its allies’ need to combat the persistent drone threat.
