Harris Corp.Has been awarded a contract from Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems to build Ka-band antennas for three Inmarsat-5 satellites. The Harris antennas will direct 95 Earth-based Ka-band beams, enabling the constellation of the three satellites to cover the entire globe. The constellation also will be able to adapt to changing usage patterns over the projected 15-year operation of the satellites. In addition, Harris Corp. has received a $6.1-million order to supply Falcon II AN/VRC-103 multiband, multimission vehicular radio systems to the US Department of Defense for use in mine-resistant ambush-protected all-terrain vehicles (M-ATVs). The Harris AN/VRC-103 is an integrated communications system that includes the Falcon II AN/PRC-117F software-defined manpack radio.
Sensis Corp.Has announced the acceptance of its modernization program for the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) Terminal Radar and Control System (TRACS) area surveillance radar (ASR-3). The fully redundant ASR-3 radar-modernization solution features a signal/data processor and solid-state L-band transmitter replacement. Six-level National Weather Service (NWS) weather data-processing capability is embedded in the software.
