L3Harris has provided advanced technology solutions to government and commercial customers across Japan for years. Among the largest and most advanced markets for U.S. defense technology in the Asia Pacific region, Japan is strengthening its capabilities in new domains – space, cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum – and traditional domains including land, maritime and air. L3Harris has targeted investment in those domains, and formalizing the company’s presence in Japan reflects L3Harris’ commitment to expand its global focus and support to key U.S. allies.
The company has been a major supplier of defense equipment and services to Japan’s Ministry of Defense. With varied programs and systems already in place within Japan, L3Harris’ investments have helped grow the local aerospace sector, creating jobs and driving innovation – creating a path to support development of Japan’s multi-domain defense capabilities.
