Does L3Harris Technologies, Inc. support Israel?

L-3 Combat Propulsion Systems (Muskegon, Michigan) — created when L-3 Communications bought General Dynamics' propulsion systems business in February 2005 — license-produced the 1,500-hp GD883 diesel engine (Germany's MTU MT883) that powers Israel's Merkava Mk4 tanks and Namer armored carriers, with the engines financed for Israel through U.S. military aid via Foreign Military Sales. The relationship ended in 2021, when L3Harris sold the Muskegon combat propulsion business to Germany's RENK, which continues the engine line.

L3Harris announced an expanded teaming agreement with ELTA Systems, a subsidiary of Israeli state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries, to jointly offer airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft — a Bombardier Global 6500 business jet missionized by L3Harris with ELTA's next-generation AEW radar and battle-management suite — to international customers. A commercial partnership with an Israeli government-owned defense company, not a sale to Israel.

L3Harris and Israeli state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly pursue Israel's Light-Attack Aircraft program with the "Blue Sky Warden," an Israel-tailored variant of L3Harris' AT-802U Sky Warden pairing the U.S. airframe and mission integration with Israeli sensors and systems. Framed precisely: a teaming agreement to bid for an Israeli military procurement announced during the ongoing war; no production contract had been awarded as of the announcement.
