Companies including Raytheon Co (RTN.N), BAE Systems (BAES.L) and Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC.N) could show interest in Harris, the Journal said.

The Journal, citing its sources, noted however the company is in the initial stages of the process of exploring options and could very well decide against selling itself.

Harris, which serves the government and commercial markets in more than 150 countries, has annual revenues of over $5 billion and more than 16,000 employees.

The company was not immediately available for comment.
