US Firm L3Harris Wins Two TKMS Contracts for German and Norwegian Submarine Mast Raising Equipment

L3Harris received two multi-million-dollar contracts from TKMS for submarine mast-raising equipment and associated electronic control units supporting German and Norwegian submarine programmes. The equipment deploys and retracts payloads used for communications, surveillance and navigation, integrating mechanical mast handling with electronic control aboard the vessels. Announced on November 2 from Bologna, the awards extend L3Harris' role as a supplier of mast-handling technology for European naval platforms. Neither individual contract values nor delivery quantities and schedules were disclosed, and the announcement covers equipment supply rather than the award of new submarine construction contracts.
