Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) has been selected by L3Harris Technologies to support its development of custom tactical jamming pods designed to modernize the U.S. Navy’s airborne electronic attack capability. The contract win comes on the heels of Honeywell’s acquisition of CAES Systems Holdings, LLC, completed in September 2024.

The U.S. Navy awarded L3 Technologies Inc., Communication Systems-West a $587.4 million contract for the engineering and manufacturing development of the Next Generation Jammer Low Band system. Honeywell’s portion of the work will take place at its Lansdale, Pennsylvania facility.

“Honeywell’s world-class manufacturing facilities and specialized capabilities enable us to provide reliable solutions for some of today’s most critical missions,” said Brad Westphal, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies president of Electromagnetic Defensive Solutions. “As we work together to bring the latest technologies to our Armed Forces, we look forward to continuing to be a trusted partner of L3Harris and the Navy.”

“Honeywell’s Lansdale site has a proven history of developing, producing, and delivering reliable electronic warfare technology,” said Clayton McClain, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies general manager, Mission Systems division. “We’re proud to support the Navy and L3Harris as they remain on the forefront of advanced technology to stay ahead of adversaries.”

The Next Generation Jammer Low Band system is part of a larger system that will augment and ultimately replace the legacy ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System on the EA-18G Growler aircraft. Using the latest software and active electronically scanned array technologies, the Next Generation Jammer will provide enhanced airborne electronic attack capabilities to disrupt, deny, and degrade enemy air defense and ground communication systems. This latest increment will counter a larger capacity of adversary systems in the low-frequency electromagnetic spectrum.

Honeywell is a premier supplier of advanced electronic systems that enable customers to fully utilize the electromagnetic spectrum by combining decades of experience with electronic warfare systems and advanced technology.
