MELBOURNE, Fla., May 7, 2026 — L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has been awarded a contract to develop essential components of the secure digital infrastructure underpinning the U.S. Air Force’s command and control network.
This initiative aims to enhance the Air Force’s Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), bolstering its data integration and networking capabilities. The effort is crucial for synthesizing data from various sources and delivering a real-time, comprehensive battlefield view to the warfighter.
Kathy Crandall, President of Mission Networks, Space & Mission Systems at L3Harris, stated, “This new digital infrastructure will provide the warfighter with more secure, timely, and usable information, allowing them to connect sensors and shooters across domains in complex operational environments. We will build off L3Harris’ rich legacy of developing and operating large-scale communications networks to meet the demands of modern military operations.”
The ABMS is a pivotal element of the Department of War’s Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control strategy, which seeks to unify and integrate military operations across all services. L3Harris intends to leverage modern data processing and networking technologies to construct the ABMS digital infrastructure.
