L3Harris Technologies said Wednesday it will design and field new training capabilities for the U.S. Air Force's Ground Based Strategic Deterrent program.

The company said this is its first contract in missile system training.

L3Harris will support operations, maintenance and security forces training, including a collective trainer for leadership decision making based on the simulation of an advanced situational awareness environment.

During the engineering, manufacturing and development phase of the program, L3Harris said it will lead the system and software design for at least eight different training systems.

L3Harris will also support the GBSD nationwide team as a supplier on other subcontracts.
