L3Harris Technologies
L3Harris Technologies is a large American defense prime. Its space business builds infrared missile-warning and missile-tracking satellites and does on-orbit data processing, and in July 2026 the US Space Force selected it to provide 18 tracking satellites for the Golden Dome missile-defense architecture.

National-security space is the largest reliable source of money in this sector, and L3Harris is one of the few companies at the scale to absorb programs like Golden Dome. Its satellites process sensor data on orbit, but the company's business is defense electronics, not AI.
The US government and allied defense customers pay L3Harris for satellites, sensors, communications equipment and defense electronics under long-term contracts.
United States
Space and next-generation infrastructure. Launch providers, satellite builders and operators, ground networks and the first attempts at running computing in orbit. Most of these companies have no AI business today; they are on this map because of what they carry, connect or build for the companies that do. Open the space lens.
