May 5, 2025 | L3Harris TechnologiesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
L3Harris Technologies has signed a memorandum of understanding with Thales UK to develop an integrated short-range air defence (SHORAD) command and control capability.
The joint solution integrates L3Harris’ proven Target Orientated Tracking System into Thales’ Agile C4I at the Edge (ACE) system to provide enhanced command and control.
“L3Harris is proud to provide advanced technology in support of the UK’s defence priorities,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. “Rapid, reliable delivery of intelligence from various sensors across the battlespace will provide UK forces with a better common operating picture and will enable more informed decision-making.”
L3Harris and Thales offer a combined 80 years of experience delivering command, control, communications, computers, intelligence and ground-based air defence (GBAD) capabilities to the UK. Both L3Harris and Thales’ multi-domain situational awareness capabilities are in service today, providing protection to mission-critical infrastructure within the UK.
