The "Harris Automatic Press Company" was founded by Alfred S. Harris in Niles, Ohio, in 1895. The company spent the next 60 years developing lithographic processes and printing presses before acquiring typesetting company Intertype Corporation.

In 1957, Harris acquired Gates Radio, a producer of broadcast transmitters and associated electronics gear, but kept the Gates brand name alive by putting the Gates sticker on the back of numerous transmitters that were labeled Harris on the front panels.{{Cite news|date=November 6, 1957|title=HARRIS-INTERTYPE; Buys Gates Radio Co., Maker of Electronics Equipment|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1957/11/06/archives/harrisintertype-buys-gates-radio-co-maker-of-electronics-equipment.html|access-date=October 28, 2021|issn=0362-4331}}

The same year, they acquired Intertype Corporation, a typesetting machine manufacturer based in New York, New York.{{CN|date=January 2023}}

In 1959, they acquired microwave technology company PRD Electronics, also headquartered in Brooklyn, New York.{{citation needed|reason=needs cite to determine how important this is. They acquired some firms, some of whom were not that important|date=February 2012}}

In 1967, they merged with Radiation Incorporated (formed in 1950) of Melbourne, Florida, a developer of antenna, integrated circuit and modem technology used in the space race. The company headquarters was moved from Cleveland to Melbourne in 1978.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=April 3, 1967|title=HARRIS-INTERTYPE MAPS ACQUISITION; To Merge With Radiation, Inc., of Melbourne, Fla.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1967/04/03/archives/harrisintertype-maps-acquisition-to-merge-with-radiation-inc-of.html|access-date=January 19, 2021|website=The New York Times}}

In 1969, Harris Corporation acquired RF Communications and Farinon Electric Corporation, furthering its microwave assets. The printing operations were sold off in 1983 and became part of manroland Goss in 2018.{{cite web |url = https://www.handelsblatt.com/archiv/heidelberger-druck-gibt-rollenoffset-sparte-an-goss-ab-kein-preis-genannt/2342434.html?ticket=ST-2426520-fRLS9je4mfbFwdu9pN7d-ap1 |title=Heidelberger Druck gibt Rollenoffset-Sparte an Goss ab - Kein Preis genannt |access-date = September 22, 2020}}

In 1974, Harris acquired Datacraft Corporation, which led to the formation of the Harris Computer Systems Division. The division made a line of minicomputers for the real-time systems market. In 1994, the division was spun out into the independent Harris Computer Systems Corporation.{{cite news | url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1995-03-12-9503100719-story.html | title=Harris Hawkish About Its Future | author-first=L.

In 1979, Harris formed a semiconductor joint venture Matra Harris Semiconductors (MHS), from which Harris withdrew in 1989. After further changes MHS was taken over by Atmel.{{cite web |url = http://www.cpushack.com/2011/02/05/atmel-buys-mhs-again-the-twisted-history-of-atmel-temic-and-mhs/ |title=Atmel Buys MHS, Again – The Twisted History of Atmel, Temic and MHS |date=February 5, 2011 |access-date = February 17, 2016}}

In 1983, Harris acquired Lanier Business Products, Inc., a dictation, word processing and computer company based in Atlanta, Georgia. By the start of the 1990s, Lanier accounted for about 1/3 of Harris Corporation's revenues. In 1998, Harris spun Lanier back off as a publicly-traded company, but also saddled it with over $700 million in debt.{{cite web |url = https://www.encyclopedia.com/books/politics-and-business-magazines/lanier-worldwide-inc|title=Lanier Business Products division of Harris}}

In 1988, Harris acquired GE's semiconductor business, which at this time, also incorporated the Intersil and RCA semiconductor businesses. These were combined with Harris' existing semiconductor businesses.

In 1996, Harris Corporation formed a joint venture with Shenzhen Telecom Company to produce and sell Harris' digital microwave radios and integrate them with other systems.{{citation needed|date=February 2012}}{{clarify|reason=Shezhen not a notable company.

In November 1998, Harris sold its commercial and standard military logic (semiconductor) product lines to Texas Instruments, which included the HC/HCT, AC/ACT, FCT, and CD4000 product families. Harris retained production of the radiation-hardened versions of these products.

In 1999, Harris spun off their remaining semiconductor business as an independent company, under the Intersil name.

In 2005, the corporation spent $870 million on research and development.{{cite news | first=Patrick | last=Peterson | title=Harris considers PB overhaul | url=http://m.floridatoday.com/news.jsp?key=355471&rc=bz | newspaper=Florida Today | location=Melbourne, Florida | pages=1E | date=October 17, 2010 }}{{dead link|date=October 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

A GPS capacity was integral to the daily address management and the transfer of information that was gathered.

In January 2011, Harris re-opened its Calgary, Alberta avionics operation, Harris Canada Inc.. The expanded facility's operations include among others the support of the work to be completed under the company's six-year, $273 million (CAD) services contract with the Government of Canada for the CF-18 Avionics Optimized Weapon System Support (OWSS) program.{{cite web|url=http://www.harris.com/feature/calgary2011/|title=Harris Corporation|author=Harris Corporation|access-date=July 3, 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150704185045/http://harris.com/feature/calgary2011/|archive-date=July 4, 2015}}

In October 2018 Harris announced an all-stock "merger of equals" with New York-based L3 Technologies, to be closed (subject to approvals) in mid-2019. The new company, called L3 Harris Technologies, Inc., is based in Melbourne, Florida.{{Cite web |url=http://l3harris.mergerannouncement.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Transaction-Press-Release-FINAL-1.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=October 15, 2018 |archive-date=October 15, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181015231553/http://l3harris.mergerannouncement.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Transaction-Press-Release-FINAL-1.pdf |url-status=dead }}

In 2019, Elbit Systems of America, the American division of the Israeli Elbit Systems, agreed to purchase Harris's night vision product line for $350 million, contingent on the completion of Harris's merger with L3. Federal regulations had required that Harris divest its night vision business as L3 already had its own night vision business and merger between the two companies would effectively eliminate competition in the industry.{{cite web |title=Justice Department Requires Harris and L3 to Divest Harris's Night Vision Business to Proceed with Merger |url=https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-requires-harris-and-l3-divest-harris-s-night-vision-business-proceed |website=United States Department of Justice |access-date=April 7, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210330094316/https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-requires-harris-and-l3-divest-harris-s-night-vision-business-proceed |archive-date=March 30, 2021 |date=June 20, 2019}} That purchase closed in September 2019, and Harris Night Vision was subsequently renamed Elbit Systems of America - Night Vision.{{cite news |title=Harris selling night-vision business unit to Elbit |url=http://optics.org/news/10/4/13 |access-date=April 9, 2019 |work=optics.org |date=April 8, 2019}}{{cite news |last1=Eshel |first1=Tamir |title=Harris Night Vision Acquisition - a Big Deal for Elbit Systems |url=https://defense-update.com/20190405_harris-nigh-vision-acquisition-a-big-deal-for-elbit-systems.html |access-date=April 9, 2019 |work=Defense Update |date=April 5, 2019}}

The Harris Communication Systems segment served markets in tactical and airborne radios, night vision technology and defense and public safety networks.

The Harris Electronic Systems segment provided products and services in electronic warfare, air traffic management, avionics, wireless technology, C4I, undersea systems and aerostructures.

Electronic Systems (ES) division provided the "ALQ-214" radio frequency jamming equipment for the U.S. Navy's F/A-18 Hornet aircraft. The ALQ-214 was originally developed by Exelis ES, which Harris acquired in 2015.Tomkins, Richard (August 21, 2015).

Harris Corporation produced multiple cell-site simulator products, such as the StingRay and Hailstorm phone trackers (see table below); These masquerade as legitimate cellphone towers duping mobile devices to connect to them instead of real cellular networks, so all wireless voice and data traffic originating in a given area are intercepted by the systems, enabling Stingray operators to conduct mass surveillance and triangulate the position of mobile devices.
