The Australian Defense Force is to receive comprehensive technical and logistics support from the Harris Corporation in the use of Harris tactical radios.

The contract is worth $55 million and comes under the country's Joint Project 2072 Battlespace Communications program.

"The wide-ranging technical and logistics support will optimize the investment the Australian government has made in Harris tactical radios and strengthen our long-term, collaborative relationship," said Alan Callaghan, vice president, International Sales and managing director, Asia Pacific, Harris RF Communications.

The Australian military uses Harris Falcon III software-defined multiband, multi-mode radios in manpack, handheld and vehicular configurations. The radios provide wideband tactical networking capabilities and line-of-sight, ground-to-air and tactical satellite communications.

Harris said that under the contract, it will provide maintenance, training, warehouse and distribution, and engineering support for the radios under a turnkey, performance-based contract model.

Information on the contract performance period was not provided.
