About L3Harris Technologies
L3Harris is a defense and communications contractor, not a chip maker, so it sits at the edge of compute hardware. It was formed on 29 June 2019 when L3 Technologies merged with Harris Corporation, whose roots go back to 1895. It is headquartered in Melbourne, Florida and listed on the NYSE. As of 2026 it reports three segments, Space and Mission Systems, Communications and Spectrum Dominance, and Missile Solutions. Any in-house semiconductor work was not confirmed, and the record's 2019 founding refers to the merger.
L3Harris Technologies was founded in 2019 and is based in Melbourne, Florida, United States. It is listed under Custom Silicon, ASICs. Its shares trade as LHX on NYSE.

What L3Harris Technologies works on
Custom Silicon
Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.
ASICs
An ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, is a chip designed to do one job or a narrow set of jobs. Its circuits are fixed when the chip is made. A CPU can run any program; an ASIC does what it was designed for and nothing else.
