L3Harris and KSSL Sign MOU to Collaborate on Advanced Technology in India

MELBOURNE, Fla., Feb. 11, 2025 - L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) and Kalyani Strategic Systems Limited (KSSL), a subsidiary of Bharat Forge Limited (NYSE: BFL), signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for wider collaboration in supporting advanced defense and security equipment in India.

Under the two-year agreement, both companies will work in close collaboration to provide solutions for mutually agreed opportunities in Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) technologies. The MOU provides L3Harris with a strong, local partner to support tactical communications network development in India, extending an existing global install footprint of more than 1 million fielded radios across U.S. Department of Defense and allied inventories.

This MOU sets the stage for future partnerships and opportunities in India, where the combined strengths of L3Harris and KSSL can contribute to bolster national security for the country, said Dave Johnson, Vice President, International, L3Harris. We are excited to move forward and increase our delivery speed in advanced tactical radios and equipment to the Indian Armed Forces.

The U.S.-India Defense Industrial Cooperation encourages both parties' support of advanced defense technologies, capabilities and equipment. The MOU is designed to foster collaboration in defence technologies, with a framework for innovation that benefits both L3Harris and KSSL.

This collaboration unlocks new strategic capabilities and will lead to harnessing new opportunities for quick delivery of sophisticated defense products to the Indian Armed Forces, said Neelesh Tunger, President & CEO, KSSL. Aligned with the evolving doctrines and emerging warfare paradigms, this collaboration between KSSL and L3Harris is aimed at serving future strategic requirements, including joint and integrated ISR capabilities.

While focusing on the Indian market, the collaboration also seeks to establish robust and resilient supply chains outside India for global obligations.

L3Harris has operated in India for more than 21 years, with facilities in New Delhi and Bengaluru. In addition to providing the Indian Armed Forces with sophisticated tactical radios and manned airborne electro-optic/infrared systems, the company provides Futuristic Telecommunications Infrastructure for all Indian airports in partnership with the Airport Authority of India.
