L3Harris Technologies has been awarded a contract to deliver its VAMPIRE (Vehicle-Agnostic Modular Palletized ISR Rocket Equipment) counter-unmanned system to the U.S. Navy for littoral defense against drone threats. L3Harris press release L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has been selected by the U.S. Navy to deliver VAMPIRE counter-unmanned systems (C-UxS) in support of the U.S.’ growing integrated C-UxS defense architecture. The VAMPIRE system is a self-contained weapons solution that delivers advanced reconnaissance and precision strike against drones and remotely piloted platforms across domains. “VAMPIRE is a flexible and effective system that meets the unique requirements of the U.S. Navy for littoral C-UxS defense,” said Tony Calderon, President, Targeting & Sensor Systems, Communications & Spectrum Dominance, L3Harris. “We’re engineering new capabilities to adapt to our customers’ missions and ruggedizing VAMPIRE against the environmental stresses of maritime environments.” L3Harris is also delivering VAMPIRE systems to the U.S. Army .
