On August 12, L3Harris Technologies announced that it has opened a new 50,000-square-foot maritime production facility at ProvPort in Providence, marking the completion of a $6 million investment to design, produce and deliver advanced undersea training systems for the U.S. Navy and allied forces.
“As L3Harris expands its presence here in the Ocean State, this new ProvPort facility will help strengthen Rhode Island’s leadership in undersea warfare technology and grow our state’s contributions to the defense industrial base,” said Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., the ranking member of the Armed Services Committee. “This is an exciting development for our state’s economy and I look forward to continuing to work with L3Harris as it grows new partnerships with local small businesses and our top-notch universities.”
“The demand for undersea training and readiness has never been greater, and this facility ensures we are positioned to meet that demand with the speed and scale our customers require,” said Nino DiCosmo, president, Maritime, Space & Mission Systems, L3Harris. “ProvPort gives us a strategic advantage with its prime location and access to a highly skilled maritime workforce, and we are proud to deepen our commitment to Rhode Island.”
The site will strengthen Rhode Island’s longstanding U.S. Navy and maritime industrial base with additional jobs through local partnerships, port operations and specialized maritime services, including partnering with Waterson Terminal Services to leverage local Longshoremen expertise in supporting offshore wind cable management, the company said.
