L3Harris Technologies, Inc.

L3Harris Technologies manufactures components integrated into multiple weapon systems used by the Israeli military, including aircraft and surveillance platforms. AFSC Investigate identifies the company as providing phone tracking devices and other equipment to Israeli forces. These systems are employed in the ongoing occupation of Palestinian and Syrian territories, which multiple United Nations bodies and the International Court of Justice have stated may violate international humanitarian law.

The company is listed on the AFSC Investigate divestment list for materially supporting Israel’s settlement enterprise in the occupied Palestinian territory. In 2024, the UK Foreign Secretary assessed a clear risk that UK arms exports to Israel might be used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law, implicating the broader supply chain of military equipment.

L3Harris Technologies is a major defense contractor whose products and services are integral to modern military operations in active conflict zones. The company's core business involves developing and supplying advanced communications systems, electronic warfare, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems, and space avionics, which are deployed by armed forces globally. In 2025, the company received orders expected to total $214 million to support the digitalization of Germany’s land-based operations, illustrating its role in equipping allied militaries.

The U.S. Department of State concluded a $13 million settlement with L3Harris in 2019 for alleged export violations, underscoring the global reach and regulatory scrutiny of its defense trade. While the company states its initiatives assist governments through contracting, its products are enabling technologies for warfare. There is no affirmative evidence that L3Harris's operations in conflict zones provide an essential civilian service, such as power or heat, that would materially benefit the civilian population absent the conflict. Instead, its business model is built on supplying mission-critical capabilities to military customers engaged in active hostilities.

L3Harris Technologies is a major U.S. defense contractor. In 2022, arms sales constituted approximately 74% of its total revenue, or $12.63 billion of its $17.06 billion in revenue, according to industry analysis. The company’s core business is developing and manufacturing specialized military equipment, including advanced tactical electronic warfare systems and military antennas.

In May 2025, the company’s predecessor entity, L3 Technologies Inc., agreed to pay $62 million to resolve federal allegations under the False Claims Act. The U.S. Department of Justice stated the company knowingly submitted false cost and pricing data to the Department of Defense for critical national security contracts. This settlement resolved claims the company failed to disclose accurate and complete data, leading to inflated contract prices.
