defense industry history,” said William Brown, chairman, CEO and president of
Harris.
“Today’s announcement positions us to close the merger and establish
L3Harris as an agile aerospace and defense technology innovator that delivers
value for all of our stakeholders,” said Christopher Kubasik, chairman, CEO and
