L3Harris Technologies has opened a high-volume production line for its VAMPIRE counter-drone systems in Huntsville, Alabama, as the company moves to meet growing allied demand. The combat-proven system has been operational in European theaters since 2023, and the new facility is designed to scale output as the threat environment evolves.

The L3Harris Technologies Advanced Baseline Imager is set to launch June 25 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida onboard NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite.
