L3Harris Technologies has been awarded a nearly $400 million contract to supply additional solid rocket motors and Liquid Divert and Attitude Control Systems (LDACS) for the Missile Defense Agency’s Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) program. THAAD protects against short, medium, and intermediate-range missiles, intercepting targets both inside and outside the atmosphere.
The system, combat-tested with a 100% success rate in 17 intercepts, will see motors manufactured in Huntsville, Alabama, and Camden, Arkansas, and LDACS produced in Los Angeles. The advanced thruster systems ensure precise guidance of the kinetic kill vehicle during critical intercept phases.
L3Harris Technologies is a leading provider of advanced technology solutions for defense, aerospace, and critical infrastructure sectors. The company specializes in mission-critical systems spanning space, air, land, sea, and cyber domains, delivering integrated solutions that enhance national security and operational readiness.
