Harris bags ADF radio support contract
Harris Corporation will provide the Australian Defence Force (ADF) with comprehensive technical and logistics support for Harris tactical radios under a $55 million order announced on 9 June.
The contract will see Harris provide maintenance, training, warehouse and distribution, and engineering support under a turnkey, performance-based contracting model to support the Joint Project 2072 Battlespace Communications programme.
The ADF uses Harris Falcon III multiband, multi-mode radios in manpack, handheld and vehicular configurations for wideband tactical networking capabilities, as well as line-of-sight, ground-to-air and tactical satellite communications.
Alan Callaghan, vice president, international sales and managing director, Asia Pacific, Harris RF Communications, said: ‘The wide-ranging technical and logistics support will optimise the investment the Australian government has made in Harris tactical radios and strengthen our long-term, collaborative relationship.’
