L3Harris will provide steering control, navigation control and machinery control systems for nine USN ship classes.
L3Harris Technologies is to perform engineering services on nine USN ship classes under a new $19.16 million IDIQ contract from the Naval Surface Warfare Center.
The company will provide steering control, navigation control and machinery control systems for the following vessels: Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers; Zumwalt-class destroyers; Whidbey Island-class and Harpers Ferry-class landing ship docks; San Antonio-class amphibious transport docks; Wasp-class and America-class amphibious assault ships; and both design variants of the Littoral Combat Ship.
