Harris receives radio orders from US Army
Harris Corporation has been awarded $20 million worth of orders for tactical radios from the US Army’s Communications-Electronics Command for a number of unnamed North African and Middle East countries, the company announced on 15 April.
The orders will supply radios to fulfil US foreign military sales and will see Harris provide its Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) vehicular radios. The contract also includes associated support services and equipment.
SINCGARS delivers real-time mobile control and command of armoured assets via secure data and voice communication links. It is used for voice communications by the ground forces of over 30 countries.
Chris Young, president, Harris Communication Systems, said: ‘The Harris radio communication systems offer robust command and control capabilities and will serve as a force multiplier for front-line, armoured vehicles.’
