Ethical Profile

Mixed.

L3Harris (formerly L-3 Communications) operates primarily in aerospace and defense, leading to a structural misalignment with the "No War, No Weapons" value, despite developing defensive tools like IED disarming robots. The company has also faced scrutiny over a reported IT "system disruption" that allegedly involved a potential data breach, though it was reportedly contained. On a positive note, L3Harris offered its encrypted BeOn communication service free for 90 days during the COVID-19 crisis to support healthcare and public safety responders.
