Harris Corporation Awarded $16 Million Follow-on Contract by Lockheed Martin for WIN-T Highband Networking Radio Systems

Highlights

- Low Rate Initial Production contract calls for more than 100 Harris radios
- Total program value to Harris since 2002 exceeds $200 million
- Radios feature first-ever use of directive-beam technology for higher throughput over longer distances

MELBOURNE, FL — Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, has been awarded a $16 million follow-on contract by Lockheed Martin to supply more than 100 Harris Highband Networking Radio™ systems for the U.S. Army’s Warfighter Information Network — Tactical (WIN-T) Increment 2 program. The contract represents the largest-quantity radio order to date, and brings the total value of WIN-T contracts to Harris to more than $200M since 2002.

The Harris Highband Networking Radio™ (HNR) features the first-ever use of directive beam technology to achieve higher throughput over longer distances. The HNR hosts the Harris-developed Highband Networking Waveform (HNW), which enables automatic selection of the best communications path, and creates a self-forming, self-healing network. Nodes can enter and exit without the need for fixed network infrastructure or operator intervention. In addition to its use in WIN-T Increment 2, an advanced version of the HNW will run on WIN-T Increment 3 hardware platforms.

The HNR has been implemented in the WIN-T Increment 2 program as a terrestrial, line-of-sight layer in an integrated communications architecture. This terrestrial layer includes mobile and fixed nodes and augments a celestial layer supporting satellite communications for beyond line-of-sight connectivity.

“The HNR is designed from the ground up to support the networked battlefield and to ensure that warfighter have a trusted, yet mobile, communications backbone,” said Sheldon Fox, group president, Harris Government Communications Systems. “This follow-on contract represents our continuing commitment to meeting the requirements of the WIN-T program and advancing the communications technology of the U.S. Army.”
