We can\u2019t put it on pieces that might not be as strategic.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ll spin some things off or sell some things without a doubt,&#8221; he added. &#8220;We haven\u2019t decided what that is, but it\u2019s going to be an important step in the first six months post close. It will be pretty significant,\u201d with business divested either in small pieces or grouped together as a larger sale or spinoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both L3 Technologies and Harris Corp. divested businesses prior to the merger announcement last fall. The former closed the sale of a trio of businesses \u2014 aviation logistics and supply chain management company Vertex; rotary aircraft component provider Crestview Aerospace; and engineering services and logistics company TCS \u2014 in the middle of 2018 for $540 million in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in a $350 million deal, Harris agreed to sell to Israel\u2019s Elbit Systems its night vision business \u2014 the one area of overlap between Harris and L3 that could have raised eyebrows from a competitive standpoint. The transaction is conditioned on the merger. Harris also sold its information technology services unit for $690 million in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBoth of us having divested our services businesses well before this was signed gives us a head start,\u201d L3 CEO Chris Kubasik said. \u201cIf we had our old portfolio and [Harris] had its old portfolio, the first year and a half would\u2019ve been spent getting rid of [those assets]. That made this more attractive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, both executives also pointed to synergies that could make the combined company \u2014 what Brown described as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/\" target=_blank>C4ISR<\/a> powerhouse \u2014 more competitive. L3\u2019s capability in multifunction phased array can mean development of a single, open architecture to support radar, communications and electronic warfare. Signals intelligence experience from L3 can also enhance Harris\u2019 work in the space domain with small satellites, increasing onboard processing capabilities. And with the acquisition of Exelis, Harris was able to develop a small-footprint EW platform \u2014 the size of a deck of cards \u2014 which can function well on the decoys and unmanned vehicles that L3 develops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, the newly merged company plans to invest 4 percent of revenue in independent research and development, or IRAD, focusing on three areas: actionable intelligence, war-fighter effectiveness and spectrum superiority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, plans to divest does mean even more mergers and acquisitions in a market that has seen a recent surge in deals. Beyond the L3-Harris merger, United Technologies completed the acquisition of Rockwell Collins in November, only to announce earlier this month plans to merge with Raytheon to form a company with an estimated $74 billion in revenue. That deal will presumably lead to more M&amp;A activity among defense companies as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2019\/06\/09\/raytheon-technologies-corporation-utc-raytheon-make-marriage-official\/\" target=_blank>UTC and Raytheon<\/a> begin their own portfolio-shaping post merger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two mega deals have some similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019ve got [in L3 Harris Technologies] a technology-based company that can spend a lot of money on IRAD, focus on bigger bets, bring our rates down,\u201d Brown said. \u201cIt makes these system more affordable. That\u2019s behind what we\u2019re trying to do; and if I listen to what UTC and Raytheon are talking about, it has the same thread.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brown expressed limited concern about the combined Raytheon-UTC creating a new, more direct competitor, saying there are pieces of both companies that L3 and Harris have partnered with and competed against, \u201cbut they\u2019re not our biggest competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s going to shift. Things are going to change,\u201d he added. \u201cWill there be places where we\u2019ll be competing more often? It\u2019s possible. But it also opens opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harris\u2019 fiscal year closes at the end of June, and Brown hopes to see the merger completed soon after. Final negotiations with the U.S. departments of Justice and Defense have involved assurances of firewalls between teams competing for the Navy\u2019s Next Generation Jammer program, he said, which counts L3 as a prime and Harris as a subcontractor to Northrop Grumman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We\u2019ll spin some things off or sell some things without a
