L3 Technologies and Harris Corporation merged in 2019 to create a defense supplier positioned between the large primes and the specialist subcontractors, self-described as a challenger to the traditional five. Tactical radios, night vision, electronic warfare, and space payloads anchor the portfolio, and the 2023 Aerojet Rocketdyne acquisition added rocket propulsion at a moment when munitions restocking became a priority. Harris itself dates to 1895 as a printing press manufacturer. Headquarters are in Melbourne, Florida.

L3Harris equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge LHX stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and LHX's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current LHX option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does L3Harris grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at L3Harris typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do L3Harris RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. L3Harris restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
