Harris Corporation has been awarded contracts from customers in the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe to provide wideband tactical radios and support services in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the company announced on 12 October.
The total value of the contracts is $66 million.

This contract reflects the continued confidence in Harris technology to provide superior situational awareness on battlefields around the world.’
