Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company, has teamed with other leading technology companies to pursue an anticipated five-year, US Department of the Navy contract to provide network transport services for the Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN) initiative. NGEN is the latest version of the Department of the Navy's initiative to continuously evolve enterprise networks to provide secure data and services to Navy and Marine Corps personnel.
Harris has teamed with CSC; General Dynamics Information Technology, a business unit of General Dynamics; and Cisco for the pursuit.
Harris and its teammates have a proven record of successfully delivering secure, complex, IT programs to military and government agencies on a global scale.
"The Harris-led team has the unified corporate strength, institutional knowledge, passion, and vision to ensure a secure, operational network that will meet the evolving needs of the Department of the Navy," said Dan Pearson, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Harris Corporation. "The team's culture and proven approach are best-suited to collaborative work -- enabling a truly integrated solution."
In IT Services, Harris designs, deploys and operates customer-centric, secure communication systems and information networks with optimal reliability and affordability for high-profile customers in government and commercial markets. Well-credentialed professionals deliver expertise in Program Management, Enterprise Services Management and Information Assurance worldwide.
