L3Harris Delivering Counter-Drone Systems to US Army

L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has been selected by the U.S. Army to deliver VAMPIRE TM counter-unmanned systems (c-UxS) to support urgent defense against hostile drones. The Army's order is worth up to $106 million as part of the United States' layered c-UxS defense approach.

The VAMPIRE capability is a self-contained weapons solution that delivers advanced reconnaissance and precision strike against drones and remotely piloted aircraft. Military forces have used the technology extensively in support of European combat operations, logging more than 350,000 operational hours since 2023.

"We've worked with the Army to understand their needs for new counter-UxS systems that can be quickly assembled, delivered, set-up and fired," said Tom Kirkland, President, Targeting & Sensor Systems, Communications & Spectrum Dominance, L3Harris. "VAMPIRE is effective at hunting and engaging drone threats affordably, which enables U.S. armed forces to sustain reliable defense of its personnel and infrastructure."

L3Harris developed and invested in VAMPIRE at the beginning of the war in Ukraine to provide a low-cost solution to eliminate Russian drone threats. In 2026, L3Harris ramped up production of the VAMPIRE system, initiating high-volume production in Huntsville, Alabama. The new production line is a direct response to the United States and its allies' need to combat the persistent drone threat.
