Harris receives $9.5M contract

Harris Corp., an international communications and information technology company, this week announced a $9.5 million contract to provide engineering services to support the Australia Department of Defence Land 200 communications modernization program.

The three-year contract with Elbit Systems calls for Harris to provide engineering services to integrate its Falcon tactical radio systems into the Battle Management System now under development by Elbit for the Australian Defence Forces.

Harris radio systems will form part of the secure communications backbone for ADF commands, control and communications modernization programs. The largest part of the contract is for the Falcon III AN/PRC-152(C), which also will be used in vehicular amplifier adapters to support the installation of equipment in more than 1,000 armored vehicles.
