The U.S. Department of Defense has recognized three L3Harris
Technologies (NYSE:LHX) facilities with the 2020 James S. Cogswell
Outstanding Industrial Security Achievement Award for maintaining
high standards in security procedures. This marks the 16th
consecutive year the company has received an award.
The DoD’s Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA)
recognized L3Harris’ Electron Devices in Torrance, Calif.; Datron
Advanced Technologies in Simi Valley, Calif.; and NEXGEN
Communications in Sterling, Va. They were among 61 awarded
facilities from a field of approximately 12,500 cleared
facilities.
The award criteria focus on principles of industrial security
excellence and include factors such as establishing and maintaining
a security program that far exceeds the basic National Industrial
Security Program requirements.
“Receiving the Cogswell award reflects L3Harris’ commitment to
maintaining the highest standards in security procedures and to
supporting the DoD’s critical mission of defending the U.S. and its
global allies,” said William M. Brown, Chairman and CEO.
The Cogswell award was established in 1966 in honor of the late
Air Force Col. James S. Cogswell, who was the first chief of the
Unified Office of Industrial Security. Col. Cogswell was
responsible for the underlying principle of the Industrial Security
Program, which includes an emphasis on the partnership between
industry and government to protect classified information. This
partnership ultimately ensures the greatest protection for the U.S.
warfighter and our Nation’s classified information.
