We provide ADS-B (terrestrial), ADS-B (space-based), CAS ADS-B Out/In (cockpit), ADS-B Xtend, tactical radar, and we are working to safely integrate unmanned aircraft systems into the NAS.
L3Harris led the creation and deployment of terrestrial ADS-B in the NAS. This capability is revolutionizing air traffic surveillance by providing real-time precision, shared situational awarenes, and advanced applications for pilots and controllers.
L3Harris is also working on concepts that incorporate the future of unmanned operations in support of urban air mobility.
ADS-B Service (Terrestrial)
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is a foundational NextGen technology that transforms aircraft surveillance using satellite-based positioning.
ADS-B enables near instantaneous position update (about one second) as opposed to 5–12 seconds from traditional radar. This allows more precise aircraft positioning, driving improved safety and situational awareness.
Terrestrial ADS-B
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is a foundational NextGen technology that transforms aircraft surveillance using satellite-based positioning.
ADS-B enables near instantaneous position update (about 1 second) as opposed to 5-12 seconds from traditional radar. This allows more precise aircraft positioning, driving improved safety and situational awareness.
ADS-B enhanced pilot safety through access to Traffic Information Service–Broadcast (TIS-B), which provides altitude, ground track, speed and distance of aircraft flying in radar contact with controllers.
Additionally aircraft are now able to access Flight Information Service–Broadcast (FIS-B), providing weather broadcasts and other advisories directly to the cockpit.
Because ADS-B leverages the Global Positioning System signal, ATC now can
better identify aircraft location which can provide critical insight in search &
rescue scenarios.
Comprehensive Nationwide Coverage
Tower Locations
Space-based ADS-B complements terrestrial ADS-B for complete area coverage
ADS-B Service (Space-Based)
As the prime contractor for the terrestrial ADS-B program, L3Harris is excited to explore how Aireon’s space-based
ADS-B will give the FAA an opportunity to investigate new ways of delivering safer skies through an integrated space-based and terrestrial system.

Space-based ADS-B
Reference Guide
ADS-B In/Out (Cockpit)
From the touchscreen Lynx solution to our SafeRoute+ applications, operators see the impact ADS-B brings to aerospace. ADS-B In allows airlines to increase routing, landing and take-off efficiencies, improve block time predictability and increase runway throughput.
ADS-B In/Out (Cockpit)
This ADS-B In retrofit solution increases safety and efficiency during all phases of flight using a suite of ADS-B In applications. It provides the pilots a precise forward field of view of surrounding aircraft up to 100 nautical miles using a Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) to create an environment of shared traffic situational awareness between pilots and air traffic controllers.
APPLICATIONS:
> CDTI Assisted Visual Separation (CAVS)
CAVS aids flight crews in managing spacing, especially during the final approach and helps reduce go-arounds, keeping flights running on-time. Watch the Video
> In-Trail Procedures (ITP)
ITP provides the flight crew with a vertical profile view of surrounding traffic over 100NM away, saving fuel and providing efficiency. Watch the Video
> Initial Interval Management (I-IM)
I-IM maintains time-based spacing during instrument meteorological conditions allowing consistent low-aircraft Inter-arrival time which enables better block-time predictability. Watch the Video
Unmanned Aircraft Systems
L3Harris is applying aviation-grade technology and capabilities to safely integrate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the National Airspace System.

SWIM is the data sharing backbone of the National Airspace System, providing a way to share information such as:
> Flight and traffic flow information
> Weather information
> Airport operational status
> Airspace status and constraints
L3Harris is committed to continually providing the FAA and its partners with advanced solutions as technology and SWIM evolves.
Leveraging benefits from SWIM data
We invite you to join the SWIM Industry-FAA Team (SWIFT) community which is an FAA forum open to the public to engage with industry and learn about SWIM, NAS data and information services. Participants gain knowledge and insight into SWIM that aids with improved system integration, automation and system interoperability.
L3Harris provides aviation weather data integration from multiple sources including automated flight planning for pilots and controllers, satellite data, radar and Notice to Airmen messages.
Our systems also support search-and-rescue operations and automated flight-planning.
Did you know?
> L3Harris has been instrumental in the engineering and integration of aviation weather information to the FAA for over 4 decades
> Provides 24x7 access to real-time graphical and textual aviation weather conditions and forecasts
> Transforming aviation weather information exchange using Open Geospatial Consortium standards with highly advanced filtering methods to process vast amounts of meteorological data
L3Harris is a key contributor to innovations like space-based ADS-B, where we supported Aireon with both the hosted payload platform on the Iridium NEXT satellites as well as engineering for Aireon’s own ground architecture. This partnership brings an opportunity to now to explore space-based ADS-B surveillance information as a supplement to terrestrial ADS-B.
