Facility playing key role in Advanced EHF Navy Multiband Terminal
Prototype tests and demos SAN DIEGO and MELBOURNE, Fla., Feb. 1
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an
international communications and information technology company,
has successfully developed the first phase of its Net- centric Test
Bed (NTB), and has used it to test and demonstrate components of
the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) Navy Multiband
Terminal. The AEHF Navy Multiband Terminal is a $1 billion-plus
U.S. Navy program that the company is pursuing. Harris announced
the facility completion during West 2007 (Harris Booth #1120),
being held January 31 - February 2 at the San Diego Convention
Center. West 2007 is co-sponsored by the Armed Forces
Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) International
and the U.S. Naval Institute. Located in Palm Bay, Florida, the
Harris NTB is a 25,000 square foot, multi-million dollar facility
used to demonstrate integrated, network-centric communications and
information systems solutions that support the critical missions of
military, intelligence and other government customers. The advanced
communications capabilities of the NTB will be integrated with
Lockheed Martin's Global Vision Center, located at the U.S. Navy's
Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) in San Diego,
California, to demonstrate the Harris Navy Multiband Terminal
prototype. Part of Lockheed Martin's Global Vision Network, the
SPAWAR Global Vision Center provides a real-time, network-centric
environment that permits demonstrations and collaboration among
Lockheed Martin, the Navy and industry partners across several U.S.
sites and locations around the world. Harris announced in August
2006 that it added Lockheed Martin to its AEHF Navy Multiband
Terminal team. "We are very excited about this new facility, which
enables us to demonstrate advanced communications technologies to
our government customers and select government contractors," said
Sheldon Fox, vice president and general manager of Department of
Defense Programs, Harris Government Communications Systems
Division. "The Harris NTB enables us to offer a broad spectrum of
demonstration capabilities for complete, highly integrated
communications solutions." The completed first phase of the NTB
incorporates the newest military satellite communications
(MILSATCOM) equipment and seamlessly demonstrates integrated
wideband/protected MILSATCOM frequencies from 4 GHz through 44 GHz.
Equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation -- including ship
motion simulators, complex waveform emulators and far-field antenna
ranges -- the facility supports a broad spectrum of MILSATCOM
technologies to validate forward-looking technologies. Phase II of
the NTB, now underway, will demonstrate advanced line-of-
sight/beyond line-of-sight communications equipment and
technologies for data links, high-capacity backbone networks, edge
networks and sensor networks that cover the HF to 14 GHz frequency
bands. Phase III will incorporate security and
enterprise/networking technologies that create integrated systems
solutions for Harris customers. About Harris Corporation Harris is
