L3Harris has won a $955 million contract from the US Space Development Agency to manufacture 18 satellites for the Golden Dome missile defence system, bringing its total orders for missile-tracking satellites to at least 70 units. The company is expanding domestic production capacity and will begin manufacturing immediately.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you make optics, power systems, thermal management, or guidance components for satellites, L3Harris now has a nine-figure production pipeline and needs suppliers who can scale to 70+ units. This is not a science project—it's a locked supply contract with immediate manufacturing start.
