Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) was founded in 1916 and is based in Melbourne, Florida. Harris Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, operates as a communications and information technology company that serves government and commercial markets worldwide.



Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company, has received a $66.3 million order from the U.S. Army via the GSA, FAS Assisted Acquisition Services to provide Falcon III® AN/PRC-117G multiband manpack radios in support of the modernization of Brigade Combat Team tactical communications. The Harris radios will become an integral part of the Army’s emerging tactical network to connect all levels of the battlefield to robust, secure voice and wideband data communications.

The AN/PRC-117G delivers enhanced command and control and situational awareness through applications such as streaming video, collaborative chat, biometric enrollment and secure network connectivity. The Army has identified development of the tactical network as its top modernization priority. At the first NIE in June and July at Fort Bliss, Texas and White Sands, N.M., Harris Corporation deployed 20- and 30-node AN/PRC-117G wideband networks that connected a range of military vehicles to company command post platforms and provided access to applications such as TIGR, FTP and combat chat. Harris is currently working with the U.S. Army to integrate the AN/PRC-117G and other radios into the second NIE, which starts this month, and third NIE, scheduled for March 2012.
