L3Harris Technologies has won two multi-million-dollar contracts from TKMS to provide mast-raising equipment and electronic control units for submarine programmes. The equipment will support the deployment and retraction of external submarine payloads used for communications, surveillance and navigation, ensuring the availability of critical onboard capabilities. The contracts cover systems engineered to meet stringent naval standards for safety, reliability and compatibility with modern submarine platforms. According to L3Harris, the use of high-grade materials and low-maintenance designs will help operators maintain fleet availability and reduce long-term ownership costs. The company added that its mast and control technologies have an established operational record with multiple naval fleets internationally.
