L3Harris Technologies has been selected by the US Navy to deliver new counter-unmanned systems (C-UxS) in support of the US' growing integrated C-UxS defence architecture.
The system is a self-contained weapons solution that delivers advanced reconnaissance and precision strike against drones and remotely piloted platforms across domains.
Tony Calderon, L3Harris' President of Targeting and Sensor Systems, Communications and Spectrum Dominance, described the solution as, "a flexible and effective system that meets the unique requirements of the US Navy for littoral C-UxS defence."
L3Harris is also delivering similar C-UxS systems to the US Army.
The company said the system has been effectively engaged in combat operations since 2023, safeguarding personnel and critical infrastructure against hostile unmanned systems and ground threats.
Building upon the success of the baseline system, L3Harris has incorporated additional sensor capabilities, precision weapons, electronic jammers and non-kinetic effectors for use across several domains.
The system uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to more swiftly detect, engage and defeat small and elusive unmanned threats.
Examples of the system can be installed on aircraft, ground vehicles, and both manned and unmanned vessels.
