New Shelters House Advanced Communication Networks to Speed
Response Times to Threats LONDON, Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- (DSEi, Booth #923) -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an
international communications and information technology company,
today unveiled the Harris Border Security Shelter, a system that
links information and communications technologies used to detect
illegal border crossings or other threats to national security. The
shelter's advanced technologies can help increase the flow of
information and speed response times to potential threats. The
Border Security Shelter is a rugged, self-contained field command
center that combines communications, command and control, and
sensor systems under a single roof, tied together with either the
Harris Falcon(R) II tactical radio network or existing networking
infrastructure. The Border Security Shelter provides an IP-data
backbone for receiving, synthesizing and re-distributing various
forms of secure transmissions. Border Security Shelters can be
permanently installed at fixed locations or rapidly deployed to
special areas of operation. Multiple shelters can be deployed and
linked to form protective networks. The shelter is configurable and
scaleable to suit customer needs. It is also adaptable to other
applications such as protection of ports or other security needs.
The shelter was developed through Harris Corporation's
International Government Systems business, which combines the
company's expertise in systems integration with its portfolio of
world-class tactical radio products. "The Border Security Shelter
serves as just one example of what our International Government
Systems business will do for customers -- creating highly advanced
integrated networks that enhance communications and decision-
making," said Steve Marschilok, general manager of International
Government Systems (IGS) for Harris Corporation. "Our customers
depend on reliable, robust and secure communication systems. Harris
businesses have the integrated capabilities to provide the
networked solutions that meet the needs of our customers." The
shelter brings together in a single location many of the
technologies that border protection forces need to carry out their
missions. From these locations, force personnel are be able to
monitor border areas using ground radar, unattended sensors or
video cameras; communicate to the field and to commanders using
tactical, microwave and SATCOM radio; and send and receive email,
images or other forms of media. A version of the shelter being
demonstrated at the Defence Systems & Equipment International
(DSEi) exhibition combines various tactical radio technologies such
HF, VHF, multiband and microwave radios, as well as unattended
ground sensors. The DSEi shelter also features remote networked
management and advanced Harris visualization/data fusion software
known as Harris SafeGuard. About Harris Corporation Harris is an
