Harris Corporation Successfully Completes Advanced EHF Navy Multiband Terminal Prototype Testing Ahead of Schedule

Harris test confirms outstanding performance of satellite communications system

(Melbourne, Fla., April 5, 2007) -- Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS), an international communications and information technology company, has completed the formal testing of its Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) Navy Multiband Terminal prototype system two weeks ahead of schedule. The company's completion of the prototype test represents yet another success in a series of milestone achievements for Harris, which is competing for the $1 billion-plus U.S. Navy communications program.

Conducted at the Harris Navy Integration and Test Facility in Palm Bay, Florida, the company's testing verified that all aspects of the Harris Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT) and interfaces to the U.S.
government-furnished antennas exhibited exceptional performance across the required breadth of communications.

"Our outstanding prototype test results, combined with our ongoing investments in the follow-on NMT System Development and Demonstration phase, ensure the Navy that Harris offers the lowest-risk NMT solution going forward," said Sheldon Fox, vice president and general manager of Department of Defense Programs, Harris Government Communications Systems Division. "The Harris NMT approach utilizes proven, readily available technologies that will deliver a highly reliable and technically capable terminal to the warfighter."
