L3Harris Opens Undersea Training Facility in Providence

L3Harris Technologies opened a 50,000-square-foot maritime production facility at ProvPort in Providence, Rhode Island, following a $6 million investment. The site focuses on the design, production, and delivery of undersea training systems for the U.S. Navy and allied forces.

The company has operated in Rhode Island since 1991 via its Ashaway facility and selected the new location for its strategic positioning and access to a skilled maritime workforce. To support local operations, L3Harris partnered with Waterson Terminal Services for offshore wind cable management support.

Senator Jack Reed stated that the facility strengthens the region's role in undersea warfare technology and the broader defense industrial base. L3Harris noted that the facility ensures the company can meet the increasing demand for undersea training and readiness with necessary speed and scale.
