L3Harris Technologies achieved a record-breaking 2025 by delivering almost half a million fuzes, as rising US and allied weapons manufacturing drove unprecedented production levels.
The increase was led by the company’s Fuzing and Ordnance Systems division, which provides fuzing assemblies, safe-and-arm devices, and ordnance components for solid rocket motors and precision-guided weapon systems.
Fuzes are mission-critical elements that control ignition timing and detonation sequencing, especially in advanced missile and air defense platforms where safety, accuracy, and reliability are central to operational success.
Compared with the previous year’s output of just over 280,000 units, 2025 deliveries reflected a near-80 percent production jump across multiple defense programs.
Company officials said the growth was driven by sustained structural demand from US Department of Defense programs and allied militaries, not short-term procurement surges.
For the second year in a row, L3Harris recorded historic fuze order volumes, highlighting continued strain on munitions manufacturing and supply chains.
Capacity expansion has been underpinned by large-scale contracts, with 2025 featuring deliveries under long-term agreements alongside new orders that strengthen future production pipelines.
In June 2024, the company received a US Army multi-year order valued at up to $872.4 million for M762A1 and M767A1 electronic timing fuzes, extending an existing production contract through the decade.
This momentum continued in July 2025, when L3Harris secured a nearly $15 million DoD contract from the Ogden Air Logistics Complex for fuze production and inventory operations, supporting broader sustainment and logistics objectives.
