He was vice president and chief technology officer there.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WASHINGTON \u2014 Sharing of manufacturing facilities and other resources, pooling supply chains, new opportunities for employees\u2019 career advancement and renewed stability after three tumultuous years are among the benefits <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2023\/07\/28\/l3harris-closes-purchase-of-aerojet-rocketdyne\/\" target=\"_blank\">Aerojet Rocketdyne\u2019s division president expects from the company\u2019s acquisition by L3Harris<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a Friday interview with Defense News, Ross Niebergall, the newly named president of L3Harris\u2019 Aerojet Rocketdyne segment also expressed confidence that he will have the independence to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2023\/07\/27\/l3harris-says-feds-cleared-aerojet-deal-set-to-close-friday\/\" target=\"_blank\">continue running the Aerojet sector<\/a> as a supplier of engines and propulsion systems to other engin, including those that might compete with L3Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI see no issues whatsoever,\u201d said Niebergall, who until recently was L3Harris\u2019 vice president and chief technology officer. L3Harris is \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2022\/12\/19\/experts-forecast-smooth-path-for-l3harris-aerojet-acquisition\/\" target=\"_blank\">buying Aerojet Rocketdyne<\/a> to get a footprint in the growing missiles and weapons and munitions market. We wouldn\u2019t want to do anything to jeopardize that growth, and that growth really is, as being a merchant supplier\u201d of propulsion systems, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L3Harris on Friday announced it had closed the $4.7 billion deal to acquire Aerojet, a manufacturer of rocket engines and propulsion systems for the Defense Department, NASA and other customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After three years of turmoil at Aerojet Rocketdyne \u2014 including Lockheed\u2019s failed acquisition and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2022\/07\/06\/aerojet-chief-wins-out-over-former-board-chairman-selects-new-board-members\/\" target=\"_blank\">war for control of the company<\/a> between former CEO Eileen Drake and former Executive Chairman Warren Lichtenstein, as well as COVID and supply chain challenges \u2014 Niebergall expressed relief that the company\u2019s period of uncertainty has come to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to be closed, and I\u2019m excited really for the 5,000-plus employees at Aerojet Rocketdyne, that we\u2019re welcoming them into the fold and giving them that stability to continue growing that business,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of excitement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the acquisition neared its close, Niebergall said, Aerojet reached out to nearly 100 of its most crucial engineers and other leaders to ask if they would remain part of L3Harris. All said yes, he said, and he predicted the newfound stability will improve overall retention of talented workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Niebergall said that Drake is no longer with the company, and its previous board has been dissolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A top priority for L3Harris, he said, will be carrying out the $215.6 million contract Aerojet received from the Pentagon in April to modernize its complex rocket propulsion manufacturing processes at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2023\/03\/21\/how-the-war-in-ukraine-is-driving-growth-in-arkansas\/\" target=\"_blank\">facilities in Camden, Arkansas<\/a>, Huntsville, Alabama, and Orange County, Virginia. These improvements were intended to allow Aerojet to increase production and speed up deliveries of Javelins, Stingers, and Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System, or GMLRS, weapons, scores of which of which have been provided to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSince that\u2019s such an important piece for the Department of Defense, that\u2019s an area that we\u2019re going to apply a lot of attention in the next few weeks, to make sure we\u2019re supporting that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Niebergall said he plans to fly to the Huntsville facility on Sunday to get work going as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The integration of Aerojet into L3Harris will likely take months \u2014 and likely into early 2024 \u2014 and the details of how it will work are still being hammered out, he said. Since announcing the acquisition last December, the companies formed an organization called the integration management office that included representatives from both firms to figure out how it will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow, we\u2019re really starting the heavy lifting of actually doing the integration that we\u2019ve been planning for,\u201d Niebergall said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Integrating the two companies\u2019 information technology functions will be an early priority, and work force integration will follow over the next few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bringing Aerojet\u2019s thousands of employees into L3Harris could present new ways for them to advance in their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re creating an organization that has a lot more resilience and gives people a lot more opportunities within the company,\u201d Niebergall said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said Aerojet will be able to take advantage of the broader manufacturing and supply chain resources L3Harris has developed over the years, as well as leveraging economies of scale by using L3Harris\u2019s shipping and other logistics systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, L3Harris and its new Aerojet division might be able to use the manufacturing facilities each had developed on their own to work on each other\u2019s programs, he said, adding that Aerojet\u2019s 13 facilities and the programs they work on are unique enough that there isn\u2019t much redundancy with L3Harris facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L3Harris will be able to provide more funding to its new Aerojet segment, and make some of its own experts available to help on their projects, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow that we\u2019ve pulled Aerojet Rocketdyne into this, we will be \u2026 figuring out what resources can we apply. Not just funding, but also people from across the company to be able to surge and apply to Aerojet Rocketdyne as needed to make this into a great company,\u201d Niebergall said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Niebergall predicted layoffs would be minimal, and would focus on reducing redundant positions at corporate offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAerojet Rocketdyne is focused on building rocket engines, and that\u2019s something that we need to now strengthen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new head of L3Harris&#8217; Aerojet Rocketdyne segment expressed relief that the uncertainty surrounding the company&#8217;s future is
