LMT raised concerns with the U.S. Defense Department and Federal Trade Commission.
"To date, we've been unable to gain a commitment from L3Harris for those provisions as a merchant supplier," St John stated.
If L3Harris continues to be unresponsive, Lockheed wants the Defense Department or FTC to put in place a mechanism to guarantee access to technology, the report specified
