Ed Zoiss, president, Harris Electronic Systems, said: ‘The 20-year flawless delivery record to the navy is a remarkable achievement, and we look forward to supporting their critical missions for the next 20 years and beyond. Our investments and dedication to delivering IDECM systems has helped to keep naval aviators ahead of emerging threats and out of harm’s way.’
This award is in addition to the $133 million production lot award received in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
