L3 Harris Technologies was awarded a $383.2 million Navy contract for the purchase of radio systems for the U.S. Marine Corps, according to the Department of Defense. Under the contract, the Navy will purchase L3 Harris high frequency radio systems with National Security Agency certified Type 1 encryption, radio ancillaries, provisioning kits and required documentation and training.
