U.S. Marine Corps Picks Harris to Upgrade 1st Responder Communications

The United States Marine Corps selected Harris Corp. to replace its existing radio systems throughout Eastern Region U.S. Marine Corps bases and other locations.

The digital radio system will support military first responders at Eastern Region U.S. Marine Corps bases and locations. The deployment includes equipment, managed services, support and other options.

Harris received an initial $6 million order in the third quarter of the company’s fiscal year 2013 to design and deploy radio systems at four bases in North Carolina and Georgia. The full contract has a potential value of more than $16 million.

Harris said the new system is based upon Project 25 technology standards and the Harris VIDA IP networking technology.
