Description
L3Harris is a US defense contractor company. Formed through the merger of L3 Technologies and Harris Corporation in 2019, L3Harris is known for its products in communication systems, avionics, space and airborne systems, and defense electronics. The company’s communication and surveillance products are used by law enforcement agencies for monitoring and intelligence operations. L3Harris is also a producer of surveillance tools like Stingray cell-site simulators. These devices mimic cell towers to intercept mobile phone signals, enabling the collection of sensitive data such as call metadata, location information, and, with additional software, even the content of communications. L3Harris was in talks to buy ownership of Pegasus software. As of February 2024, the company was in "mature talks" to set up a regional HQ in Saudi Arabia.
