Harris Corporation Wins Contract From Middle East For Integrated Tactical Communication System

Harris Corporation has won a contract valued at more than $50 million from a nation in the Middle East to deliver a secure, integrated tactical area communications solution using Falcon III wideband tactical radios.

 

As part of this Integrated Tactical Area Communications System (ITACS) solution, the nation is acquiring Harris’ software-defined radios to provide mobile, net-centric capabilities to its armed forces.

 

The solution supports the latest wideband and narrowband networking waveforms and enables country-wide voice and data capabilities for critical missions. This allows forward-deployed teams to stay in constant communications with commanders at operating bases and  headquarters.

 

"The Harris ITACS enables this nation to make a rapid transition to modern, flexible and modular IP-based tactical area communications," said Brendan O'Connell, president, International Business, Harris RF Communications. "The system dramatically improves situational awareness by creating a mobile tactical Internet that delivers voice, data and situational awareness across the country."
