The Latvian Ministry of Defence and the US government signed a new contract in December for the delivery of additional Harris tactical radios and accessories worth more than $17 million.
Latvia received more than $10 million worth of Harris tactical radio equipment in 2017 under a government-government contract signed in 2016.
Both agreements cover radios and accessories for integration into the joint command communications system with different data protection levels.
