L3Harris is demonstrating its advances in electronic warfare by integrating its CORVUS-RAVEN system into the T7 robot . The presentation took place at Vanguard 2024, a US Army exercise at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, where tests were carried out on the T7’s ability to detect and neutralize unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) and analyze electronic signals.
The capabilities and potential of the T7 robot
The integration of CORVUS-RAVEN into the T7 represents a step forward in troop protection strategy. The system enables unmanned ground vehicles ( UGVs ) to identify and negate electronic threats from a safe distance. According to Dr. Paul Bosscher, chief robotics engineer at L3Harris, the goal is to keep troops out of harm’s way by deploying robots capable of detecting and responding to electronic threats.
The T7 and its more compact version, the T4, are designed to operate in electronic warfare environments without interference. Its aerospace-grade shielding prevents electromagnetic emissions from affecting its operation, ensuring stable operations even in scenarios with high signal activity.
In addition to detecting and neutralizing hostile drones, robots can recover downed friendly aircraft or serve as drone launch platforms, expanding their applications in combat and military security.

The test at Vanguard 2024 demonstrated L3Harris’ ability to merge electronic warfare and robotics into a single platform, enabling new uses on the battlefield. The company notes that this technology could expand the robots’ capabilities beyond explosive ordnance disposal, cementing their role in modern military operations.
