Growth, Strength
and Talent
In some ways, L3Harris Technologies is a well-
kept secret, said Dana Mehnert, President,
Communication Systems, L3Harris.

A lot of people may still think of this business as
RF Communications, he said. If you talk about
our space business its Kodak or its ITT or its
Exelis. I think the thing people should know is
3,800 members of the community here are all part
of L3Harris. This is a very exciting, strong, growing
business that does something that matters every
day for our nation.

And through the years, the technology has also
changed as has the breadth of the product line
thanks to the talented team of employees.

We have the best team in the world. I dont
think you get to be #1 in a market, and keep that
position for a decade, without the best team and
staying very close to your customers. We have
a strong heritage to build on, I like to say were
standing on the shoulders of those folks who came
before us, he said.

And time and time again, L3Harris has proven
that it is committed to Rochester as its home
base to make superior radios and geospatial and
intelligence systems for the U.S. military and allies
across the world.
L3Harris has certainly grown to be a much
larger, more significant player broadly in the
aerospace and defense industry and in the key
markets that we serve in the business here in
Rochester tactical communications for soldiers,
sailors, Marines and airmen; public safety
communications; and night vision, he said. Its
wonderful to be part of a business where you can
make a difference every day.”
