PARIS, Eurosatory booth 78, June 12 / -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) today announced its plan to use resources from its Government Communications Systems Division and its RF Communications Division to bring total systems integration capabilities to governments and Ministries of Defense around the world.
"The goal of this initiative is to bring together the best that is Harris and make it more easily available to international customers," said Ed Lockwood, RF Communications vice president, international sales and programs. "RF Communications has tremendous success in tactical radios and systems with well-established international marketing channels. Government Communications Systems has a tremendous breadth of engineering talent, defense communication products, and large systems integration capabilities. It's a natural fit."

"Harris offers customers the combined benefit of a broad range of proven products and services and extensive experience as a total systems integrator," said Greg Bublitz, business leader, Government Communications Systems international business. "The result for our customers is that they reduce their risk by getting both products and integration services from Harris, and they can have a high level of confidence in their network. We all benefit from this combined strength."
