L3Harris says AI and open architecture will turn distributed electronic warfare systems into a coordinated combat force across domains

L3Harris is promoting an electronic-warfare architecture that links distributed sensors and effectors across aircraft, uncrewed systems and ground platforms instead of treating each platform as an isolated system. The approach combines open interfaces, software-defined radios, commercial electronics and artificial intelligence to coordinate detection, classification and response. Programs such as DiSCO and the Deceptor payload illustrate how modular hardware and autonomy software could be updated or reassigned as threats change. The concept remains an industry strategy rather than a newly announced procurement, but it targets faster upgrades, wider data sharing and more resilient multi-domain operations.
