Harris Corporation Researchers to Present Eight Technical Papers on
Communications Networking and Security During MILCOM 2009
Papers Explore Solutions for the Technology Challenges of Networked
Communications

BOSTON, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- (MILCOM, Booth #404) - Meeting the
unique communications and networking technology challenges posed by the
military's increasing need for situational awareness is the primary theme of a
series of papers that will be presented by Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS)
during MILCOM 2009. The Free World's premier military communications
conference is taking place October 18-21, 2009 at the World Trade Center in
Boston, Massachusetts.

The first paper, "Routing Impact in Highly Dynamic Mesh Networks of RF and FSO
Links," describes how high-capacity, video situational awareness is critical
in highly dynamic tactical mesh networks, and how the need for it places high
demand on existing network capacity. The paper is co-authored by Harris
Senior Scientist Geoffrey Burdge and Senior Principal Engineers Jerome
Sonnenberg, Michael Oyler and Robert Peach.

The second paper, "A Framework for Net-Centric Services and Usage Patterns in
Military Networks," discusses how network-centric patterns exist in all
network designs and implementations, and why it is important to capture
knowledge within these patterns, particularly in conducting military
operations. The paper is co-authored by Sonnenberg and Harris Senior
Scientist Sastri Kota, along with Allen Jones, a system architect with The
Boeing Company. Sonnenberg also is the Track Chair for the MILCOM 2009
sessions on Securing, Managing and Using Networks.

The third and fourth papers were written by Senior Software Engineer Richard
Booton. "Reducing Terminal Slot Contention by Applying Set Theory to the
Integrated Waveform (DAMA UHF SATCOM)," describes a method for improving the
utilization of satellite bandwidth. "Method of Allocating Multiple
Asynchronous Data Time Slots to Residual TDMA Channel Space for High
Throughput Data Services," discusses a method for improving the utilization of
satellite resources in terminals requiring high-throughput ADT user
communication services.

The fifth paper, "Realization of a High-Assurance Multiplexer Using FPGA-Based
Single-Chip Cryptography," describes the benefits of a new class of design
mechanisms for information assurance. The paper was co-authored by Senior
Engineering Manager Duncan Harris, Senior Scientist Christopher Mackey and
Principal Engineer Brian Boorman.

The sixth paper, "Identity Propagation in N-Tier Enterprise Systems,"
describes innovative approaches for end-to-end SOA security, including the
data tier. The paper is co-authored by Harris Software Architects Anil Patel,
Malcolm McRoberts and Melissa Crenshaw.

The seventh paper, "High Performance Microwave Photonic Links Using Double
Sideband Suppressed Carrier Modulation and Balanced Coherent Heterodyne
Detection," describes a coherent, wideband microwave photonic link technique
for the high-fidelity remoting, distribution and frequency conversion of RF
and microwave signals. The paper is co-authored by Harris Electro-Optics
Engineer Dr. Charles Middleton and Harris Principal Investigator Dr. Richard
DeSalvo.

The eighth and final paper, "Identity Overcoming Stressed Satellite Networks
Using Alternative Communications," describes communication alternatives for
supporting the warfighter as satellite communications vanishes from stressed
conditions. The paper is co-authored by Harris Senior Scientist Dr. Jerry
Brand and Senior Systems Engineer Robert Bach.

"Supporting the theme for this year's MILCOM conference, 'The Challenge of
Convergence,' these eight papers represent the continued focus of Harris
engineers and scientists in developing innovative technologies that address
the challenges faced by warfighters, including their critical need for assured
communications," said Kent Buchanan, Corporate Chief Technology Officer and
vice president of Engineering for Harris Government Communications Systems.
