L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) will help the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) develop Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) systems to help reduce the amount of time it takes to decipher usable intelligence from increasing amounts of data collected from space and airborne assets.
L3Harris will research, develop and demonstrate an AI/ML interface using data science techniques under a new multi-million-dollar contract to support DOD applications.
Awarded by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, the contract supports the DoD’s initiative to accelerate the integration of big data and AI/ML within the agency. L3Harris will perform the work in Rochester, New York, Melbourne, Florida and Herndon, Virginia.
