Harris Corporation is a military communications contractor.

A.F. Global Weather Central purchased a Harris transmitter to kick-off
the Weather HFRB (rtty, fax) System at Elkhorn, NE (AKA Giant Talk).

Harris Corp. built the Satellite Data Handling System at AFGWC.

Harris Corp. built the A.F. tactical DMSP ground set.

Harris Corp. transceivers were stuffed in racks in the Transportable
Automated Weather Distribution System (TAWDS).

But weathermen don't do comms. Hi!


Not to mention, Harris built the microwave receivers for NOAA, which are
being replaced by Microdyne/L-3com equipment.
