L3Harris Expands Indiana Facility to Support America’s Golden Dome
April 18, 2025 | L3Harris TechnologiesEstimated reading time: 1 minute
L3Harris Technologies has completed a $125 million expansion at its space manufacturing facility in Fort Wayne to support the Department of Defense’s urgent need for on-orbit technology to defend the homeland by building a “Golden Dome” around the United States. L3Harris’ investment in facilities in Indiana will enable these strategic capabilities to be delivered in the later half of the President’s second term.
Members of Indiana’s congressional delegation participated in the dedication ceremony today for the expanded 95,000-square-foot facility, which will support engineering, integration, testing and program management for L3Harris’ missile defense programs.
“The new investments and construction by L3Harris in Fort Wayne are a crucial step in making the defensive capabilities of our country ‘Made in America’ again,” said Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN). “The incoming jobs to our community will boost our local economy to the tune of millions of dollars. More companies should follow L3Harris’ lead in returning their operations to our shores and uplifting the communities that made them what they are today.”
“Accelerating the nation’s missile warning and defense capabilities is a priority for national security as we move forward with supporting President Trump’s vision for America’s Golden Dome,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. “With capacity to produce 48 payloads per year, we continue to deliver at the scale and speed our defense customers require and are successfully poised to protect against threats to our homeland.”
L3Harris has five satellites on orbit and 34 satellites in work for the Space Development Agency’s Tracking Layer and the Missile Defense Agency's Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS) program. The company also provides mission-critical technology for other space-based defense initiatives. In addition, this facility expansion supports increased satellite production capacity for civil weather programs for customers around the globe.
