\nL3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has started delivering VAMPIRETM<\/sup><\/a> counter-unmanned systems (C-UxS) to the U.S. Army in support of hostile drone defense. Initial deliveries arrived within two months of the Army\u2019s $106 million order<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nL3Harris\u2019 VAMPIRE system is a self-contained weapons solution that is capable of delivering advanced reconnaissance and precision strike against drones and other remotely piloted aircraft.

\n\u201cFrom day one, our team has worked side-by-side with the Army to rapidly field VAMPIRE systems,\u201d said Chris Aebli, President, Communications & Spectrum Dominance, L3Harris. \u201cU.S. armed forces are now equipped to reliably defend personnel and vital assets against drone threats.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nEarlier this year, L3Harris established a new, dedicated VAMPIRE production facility in Huntsville, Alabama, in anticipation of the growing domestic and global need of C-UxS capabilities and increased production<\/a> of the VAMPIRE system at the facility.<\/p>\n
