L3Harris Space and Airborne Systems president Ed Zoiss said: “Better understanding the behaviour of objects in space is critical to warfighting operations.

“Our modernisation initiatives enable the US Space Force to better understand threats to satellites.”

L3Harris received an initial contract under the MOSSAIC programme in February 2020 to upgrade and maintain command and control systems, as well as radar and optical sensors.

Later in 2021, the company secured the second-year contract for $89m for continuing the modernisation work.

Furthermore, the US Space Force (USSF) has also selected L3Harris to advance its ATLAS space domain awareness programme.

The company offers space superiority capabilities to provide the foundation for space domain control, protecting assets and preserving strategic advantages.
