A team led by L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) has been selected to provide the Shipboard Panoramic Electro-Optic/Infrared (SPEIR) system to the U.S. Navy that will provide improved fleet protection. The initial $205 million contract has a potential value of $593 million if all options are exercised through March 2031.
The SPEIR program represents a generational leap forward in the use of 360-degree electro-optic and infrared (EO/IR) imagery and situational awareness, elevating EO/IR sensors - the eyes of the fleet - from a dedicated weapons support sensor to a full passive mission solution capability.
L3Harris will serve as systems integrator and prime contractor, delivering capabilities for mission areas including anti-ship cruise missile defense, counter-unmanned aerial systems, counter-fast attack craft/fast in-shore attack craft, mobility, anti-terrorism/force protection and operational tasking visual information. This new system is targeted for installation on destroyers, carriers, frigates, amphibious and landing helicopter assault ships to provide a critical warfighting capability.
The team includes Lockheed Martin and BAE Systems and will provide an L3Harris solution known as SPATIAL that provides a scalable 360-degree EO/IR passive automatic detection and tracking solution, enhancing combat systems and navigation capabilities to the U.S. Navy.
The program was awarded by the Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems (PEO IWS) 2.0.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel they get (or used to get) contracts all the time. Suck newspaper dick to get the story out (Florida Today: “yay - Harris is bringing jobs to Brevard!”) then they hire tons of folk which gets the shareholders a dividend.
If the deadline for delivery is three years, at the two year, twelve month, twenty eight day mark, they will sell the project. Naturally laying everyone off. They do this close to Christmas as well. So the Brevard joke was “it must be Christmas, Harris is doing layoffs…”
