MELBOURNE, Fla., May 7, 2026 — L3Harris Technologies has been selected to develop key elements of the secure, resilient digital infrastructure that will underpin the U.S. Air Force’s command-and-control network.
The work will bolster the Advanced Battle Management System’s data integration and networking, aiming to fuse inputs from multiple sources and give warfighters a real-time, comprehensive view of the battlefield.
“This new digital infrastructure will provide the warfighter with more secure, timely and usable information, allowing them to connect sensors and shooters across domains – in complex operational environments” said Kathy Crandall, President, Mission Networks, Space & Mission Systems, L3Harris. “We will build off L3Harris’ rich legacy of developing and operating large-scale communications networks to meet the demands of modern military operations.”
ABMS is described as a critical component of the Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control strategy to unify and integrate operations across all services. L3Harris plans to apply modern data processing and networking technologies to develop the ABMS digital infrastructure.
