L3Harris Technologies has secured two multi-million-dollar contracts from German naval shipbuilder TKMS to supply mast-raising equipment and electronic control units for its submarine programmes.
The systems will enable submarines to extend and retract external payloads used for communications, surveillance, and navigation, ensuring reliable operation of essential onboard equipment.
Under the agreements, L3Harris will provide specialised technologies engineered to meet stringent naval standards for safety, reliability, and seamless integration with modern submarine platforms.
The company highlighted that its equipment incorporates high-grade materials and requires minimal maintenance, helping naval operators improve submarine availability while reducing long-term lifecycle costs.
L3Harris further noted that its mast-raising technologies have an established operational track record across multiple naval fleets worldwide, demonstrating their reliability in demanding maritime environments.
