The Congressman explored the Global Innovation Center, which
showcases how Harris technology is being used across the world
to connect, inform and protect. Diaz-Balart, the chairman of
the House Appropriations Transportation Subcommittee,
also toured the FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI)
Network Operations Center, a facility that carries critical
safety-of-flight communications throughout the U.S. airspace and is
a unique example of a public-private partnership.
Diaz-Balart, who is also a member of the House Defense
Appropriations Subcommittee, learned about the Harris commercial
business model, which reduces development costs incurred by the
U.S. Defense Department and drives innovative communications
technology to the warfighter.
"For over 35 years, Harris has created and cultivated hundreds
of jobs in Florida that provide indispensable support to our
nation's military, airspace, and infrastructure,” Diaz-Balart said.
“They produce and maintain cutting-edge systems critical to the
safety and security of the national airspace, including vital
NextGen telecommunications programs. I enjoyed learning about these
systems and their research and development in defense, aviation,
and space. I look forward to continue working with them to ensure
we sustain advances in infrastructure and aviation and maintain our
military superiority."
