L3Harris Technologies has partnered with ELT Group, the Italian global reference in electromagnetic spectrum operations, to establish a multi-sensor test facility for commercial, military and government programs.

This collaboration marks the first time an Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) test and calibration facility of this type will be available outside of the United States. Both industries will work together to create an in-country center of excellence for the Italian military and allied Nations.

“L3Harris’ industry partnerships deliver long-term benefits that support Italian businesses, while also maximizing mission readiness for military units", said Jon Rambeau, President, Integrated Mission Systems, L3Harris. “This new sensor test facility further strengthens Italy’s defence infrastructure".

The new facility will support the G550 Joint Airborne Multi-Mission, Multi-Sensor System and Electronic Attack aircraft along with other air, surface and maritime platforms. 

“ELT Group is pleased to be selected as a partner company for this important program, bringing forward more than 70 years of expertise supporting allies in ISR, multi-mission and electronic attack operational support", said Domitilla Benigni, CEO and COO of ELT Group. “This cooperation marks the first step in developing next-generation capabilities in the Italian test and operational range environment".
