We are sure that they will be a great addition to our regional support network and look forward to taking greater advantage of Australian skills and ingenuity in support of our products and services in the region.”
“L3Harris is pleased to partner with iXblue with a view to providing in-country support, integration and sustainment for their high-performance maritime navigation systems,” said Sarah Earey, Managing Director of L3Harris’ Micreo, who signed the MoU for the company. “L3Harris has a very strong network across the region with the skills and facilities for assembly, integration, calibration, repair and support of complex systems, and we’re proud to be able to offer these services to organisations such as iXblue to enable Australia to benefit from advanced technologies from across the globe.”
