L3Harris Technologies has partnered with ELT Group, an Italian electromagnetic spectrum operations company, to establish a multi-sensor test facility for commercial, military and government programs.
This collaboration marks the first time an Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) test and calibration facility of this type will be available outside of the United States. L3Harris and ELT Group will work together to create an in-country center of excellence for the Italian military and allied nations.
Jon Rambeau, President, Integrated Mission Systems, L3Harris, said, “L3Harris’ industry partnerships deliver long-term benefits that support Italian businesses, while also maximizing mission readiness for military units. This new sensor test facility further strengthens Italy’s defense infrastructure.”
The new facility will support the G550 Joint Airborne Multi-Mission, Multi-Sensor System and Electronic Attack aircraft along with other air, surface and maritime platforms.
Domitilla Benigni, CEO and COO of ELT Group, said, “ELT Group is pleased to be selected as a partner company for this important program, bringing forward more than 70 years of expertise supporting allies in ISR, multi-mission and electronic attack operational support. This cooperation marks the first step in developing next-generation capabilities in the Italian test and operational range environment.”
