U.S. Air Force Awards Harris Corporation $24 Million Operational
Space Services and Support Contract
MELBOURNE, Florida, October 30, 2001 - Harris Corporation, a world
leader in satellite network support and control solutions,
announced today that it has been awarded a one-year, $24.3 million
contract option to provide operations, maintenance and support
services to the U.S. Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN)
and Global Positioning System (GPS) ground network. The latest
Operational Space Services and Support (OSSS) award brings the
total current contract value to date for Harris to over $50
million, with options for five additional years that could increase
the overall value to $202 million.
The OSSS contract calls for Harris and its teammates to operate and
perform organizational level maintenance at all ground stations
assigned to the AFSCN and GPS. The ground stations are in such
diverse locations as Thule, Greenland; Diego Garcia, British Indian
Ocean Territory; New Boston, New Hampshire; and other
geographically separated locations. The initial contract focuses on
the remote locations, providing antenna operations and maintenance,
GPS site software and hardware support, training, security, and
management services. Beginning in the third year of the contract,
satellite orbital analysis and technical assistance support at
Schriever AFB, Colorado, will be added to the contract. Harris
Technical Services Corporation (HTSC) will execute the contract on
behalf of Harris Corporation.
"We're very pleased that the U.S. Air Force continues to rely on
Harris to provide value-added technical services where performance
is absolutely critical and core to the success of its satellite
control networks," said Bob Henry, president, Harris Government
Communications Systems Division (GCSD).
