Navy Selects Harris For $85 Million Advanced EHF SatCom Terminal Study
Melbourne - Nov 07, 2003 Harris has been selected for a 30-month program, with a potential $85 million value, by the U.S. Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, San Diego, California, to develop four prototypes for the next-generation Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) Navy Multi-band Terminal (NMT). The NMT SATCOM terminals will be installed on ship, shore, and submarine platforms. Should Harris win the competition for the NMT engineering, manufacture and development (EMD) phase of the program to be awarded in June 2006, which includes the production of as many as 300 terminal systems, the overall value of NMT for Harris could exceed $1.4 billion by 2014. "Harris is honored that the U.S. Navy has selected it for SATCOM terminal expertise and solutions supporting yet another nationally important, military satellite program such as Advanced EHF," said Bob Henry, corporate senior vice president, and president, Harris Government Communications Systems Division (GCSD). "The award of Advanced EHF NMT, coupled with our recent deployment of the U.S. Navy's AN/WSC-6(V)9 Multi-band Shipboard SATCOM Terminal (MSSCT) program, puts Harris squarely at the forefront of cutting-edge, multi-band SATCOM terminal solutions for the U.S. Navy." The Advanced EHF satellite program, managed by the U.S. Air Force, is a follow-on to the DoD's highly secure, highly protected MILSTAR communications satellite system. The Advanced EHF NMTs will enable its afloat and shore units to communicate from anywhere in the world via the Air Force satellites, as well as other military and commercial satellites, simultaneously. The multi-band, multi-mode terminals will provide deployed Navy commanders with secure command and control capability, as well as enhanced communications such as tactical data and imagery, real-time video, battlefield maps, and targeting information Harris GCSD, one of five divisions within Harris Corporation, conducts advanced research studies, develops prototypes, and produces and supports state-of-the-art, assured communications and information systems that solve the mission-critical communications challenges of its military and government customers, as well as provides the technology base for the company's diverse commercial businesses.
