Overview
Under numerous government contracts and its own investments, L3Harris has continued to improve the aerothermal performance, affordability, scalability and rapid manufacturability of scramjet engines to meet emerging needs for hypersonic missile and aircraft applications.
L3Harris is also a leader in solid propellant boost motor development for weapon systems. Having been the provider of the solid boost motors that powered the X-51A to hypersonic flight success, L3Harris is developing the next generation of mission critical propellants, lightweight and robust motor cases, and improved affordability that will enable U.S. crucial hypersonic boost-cruise and boost-glide missiles for our customers.
L3Harris is also using its extensive historical expertise in energetic materials development to craft new warhead concepts. These warhead designs adapt the high kinetic energy of hypersonic delivery systems with unique technology to enhance the focused and selective effectiveness of new energetic materials to best meet variable mission needs.
