Harris Corporation Completes System Design Review for Next-Generation Global
Positioning System Control Segment Program

System Will Revolutionize GPS Command and Control

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Booth #400
-- Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS) has successfully completed demonstrations of
its advanced communications and information assurance solutions for the Global
Positioning System (GPS) Operational Control Segment (OCX) program. The
announcement was made during the 25th National Space Symposium being held
March 30 through April 2 at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Harris is a member of the Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) team, which
is competing for the open-architecture, next-generation ground control segment
contract that will support the entire network of existing and future GPS
satellites. Total value of the contract to Harris if the Northrop team is
selected in 2009 for the development phase could exceed $100 million over the
next 20 years.

During the System Design Review, Harris presented a comprehensive
demonstration of a prototype Advanced Monitoring Station. "Harris laid a
convincing approach to significantly improve operational support to the GPS
enterprise with low development risk," said Steve Bergjans, Northrop Grumman
vice president and GPS OCX program manager. "Their System Design Review made
clear that they are the best choice to provide the Advanced Monitoring
Station, and I am pleased to have them on our team as technical leader and
partner," Bergjans said. Additionally, the network communications elemental
design and information assurance processes and capabilities were featured
during the review.

"We were able to demonstrate to our customer a comprehensive solution with a
high level of design maturity at the system design review stage," said Wes
Covell, president, Harris Defense Programs. "This success is due in large
part to the strong cooperative relationship between Harris and Northrop
Grumman during the 15 months we have worked together on this pursuit. Harris
is proud to play a key role in this vital national defense program."

In addition to providing communications systems and information assurance
solutions, Harris will supply the OCX advanced ground antennas, which receive
telemetry, tracking and command data. Harris also will provide site activation
services.

In 2007, Harris was awarded a $17 million contract by Northrop Grumman to
develop the prototype monitoring stations and to design the initial
communications infrastructure as part of Phase A of the pursuit. The system
design review - held at Northrop Grumman facilities in Redondo Beach,
California, with representatives of the U.S. Air Force and government GPS
community in attendance - completed the last milestone for Phase A.

Other members of the Northrop Grumman team include Integral Systems, Inc.,
Lanham, MD.; Lockheed Martin Information Systems and Global Services,
Gaithersburg, MD.; and Infinity Systems Engineering, Colorado Springs, CO.

Harris Defense Programs develops, supplies, and integrates communications and
information processing products, systems, and networks for a diverse base of
aerospace, terrestrial and maritime applications supporting U.S. Department of
Defense missions. Harris is committed to delivering leading-edge technologies
that support the military's ongoing transformation to network-centric
communications.
