Harris Corporation Completes Major Review for GOES-R Satellite Ground Segment Contract

Harris Corporation Completes Major Review for GOES-R Satellite Ground Segment
Contract
New System Will Significantly Speed Severe Weather Prediction for Faster
Response

WASHINGTON and MELBOURNE, Fla., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris
Corporation (NYSE: HRS), an international communications and information
technology company, successfully completed the first milestone in a National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) program that will process 40
times more data than is possible today, and deliver weather images to more
than 10,000 direct users.

The Systems Requirements Review of the Geostationary Operational Environmental
Satellite -- Series R Ground Segment (GOES-R GS) program was completed
recently in Melbourne, Florida. The review ensures the system's functional
and performance requirements and its preliminary program plan satisfy the
GOES-R mission.

The ground segment of the GOES-R program encompasses receiving and processing
of satellite data, generating and distributing of products from satellite
data, and command and control of operational satellites. Harris is the prime
contractor and systems integrator for the 10-year, potential $736 million
contract.

"This milestone establishes a common understanding of all of the requirements
the GOES-R ground segment must meet during development, deployment and
operation," said Ray Thorpe, vice president of GOES-R programs at Harris
Government Communications Systems. "The successful completion of this review
brings us one step closer to fielding a weather prediction system that will
give forecasters an unprecedented edge when dealing with dangerous weather
conditions."

Today's GOES satellites provide the images and time-lapse sequences familiar
to most Americans in television weather forecasts. They are the primary tool
used by NOAA to detect and track hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornadoes and
other severe weather in the continental U.S. and western hemisphere.

The next-generation GOES-R system will provide significantly improved image
resolution. It will increase the rate of imagery coverage of earth surfaces
from every 30 minutes to every five minutes in normal conditions -- and every
30 seconds during severe weather events.

Members of the Harris GOES-R GS team include Atmospheric and Environmental
Research Inc., Boeing Mission Systems, Carr Astronautics, Honeywell Technology
Solutions, Wyle Information Systems LLC, and Applied Research and Engineering
Sciences. The team is providing a service-based, open-architecture solution
to accommodate the anticipated 40-times increase in data to be taken in,
processed and distributed to more than 10,000 direct users. The first launch
of a GOES-R series satellite is scheduled for 2015.

Harris is a recognized leader in satellite ground data processing and mission
command-and-control systems. The company's ground data processing systems
consist of complex suites of hardware and software that receive sensor data
from satellites, turning it into useable information. The company's
command-and-control systems feature commercial-off-the-shelf design and high
levels of flexibility. Designed for government and commercial applications,
they support single-satellite missions, as well as some of the largest and
most complex satellite fleets deployed today.
