Harris Corporation to Provide Integrated Command and Control
Capabilities to Latvian Ministry of Defence PARIS (Eurosatory booth
C37), June 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation
(NYSE:HRS), a leading supplier of secure, tactical radios for
worldwide defense forces, today announced that the Latvian Ministry
of Defence has purchased the company's C2PC (Command and Control
Personal Computer)-CNR (Combat Net Radio) software to use with its
existing Harris Falcon(R) II radios. The integrated tactical
command and control system will help the Latvian armed forces
coordinate battlefield positions and distribute information readily
among its troops and NATO allies. Harris, working with Northrop
Grumman in the United Kingdom, has created a customized version of
the globally deployed Northrop Grumman C2PC Tactical C2 System that
provides situational awareness via Harris Falcon II radios. Falcon
II radios are built upon a common digital platform with an
integrated network controller, allowing the radios to provide
communications for network-based applications such as situational
awareness, mapping, messaging and information management. The
resultant network will supply Latvian commanders with accurate
position information on the battlefield. "These sales mark the
start of a series of equipment deliveries that reinforce the value
of track management capabilities at the deployed tactical level,"
said Todd Davis, product manager at Harris RF Communications
Division. "As defense forces look to upgrade their C2 capabilities,
we expect several additional Falcon II customers to acquire
C2PC-CNR in the near future." Latvia has purchased $20 million
worth of communications equipment from Harris since 1998. Latvia's
extended procurement of this technologically advanced equipment
signifies its commitment to NATO and helped Latvian forces to
integrate with its allies prior to its NATO induction earlier this
year. Harris RF Communications Division is a leading supplier of
secure voice and data communications products, systems and networks
to military, government, and commercial organizations worldwide.
Harris Corporation is an international communications technology
