Harris Corporation Receives NSA Type 1 Certification for Cryptographic Component of Anti-Scintillation/Anti-Jam Modem Highlights:
Certification makes Harris the only supplier with a Type 1-certified, protected wideband modem.
Provides Harris with a valuable discriminator in the protected wideband SATCOM market.
Modem is key component of Protected Anti-Scintillation Anti-Jam Wideband Netcentric System program.
MELBOURNE, FL, June 6,2013 Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, has received National Security Agency (NSA) Type 1 certification for a technology capable of ensuring that the U.S. Department of Defense can continue to utilize its communications network in the event of a nuclear attack or other stressed environments. The company received NSA certification for its KGV 90 device, which provides essential cryptographic and frequency hopping capabilities for the Harris Anti-Scintillation Anti-Jam (AS/AJ) Modem. With the KGV 90, the Harris modem is now the only protected wideband modem to receive Type 1 certification from the NSA. Extremely resistant to signal jamming, the Harris AS/AJ modem provides the highest anti-scintillation data rates available today. Anti-scintillation refers to the modems ability to operate following a nuclear event that can immobilize electronic communications systems. In 2012 Harris successfully demonstrated wideband protected communications in a contested environment over a Wideband Global SATCOM IV satellite. The modem is designed for the Protected Anti-Scintillation Anti-Jam Wideband Netcentric System (PAAWNS) program. The PAAWNS is being installed as part of two U.S. Army programs -- the AN/GSC-52 Modernization program and the Modernization of Enterprise Terminals program. Harris is the prime contractor for both programs, which will deliver next-generation military satellite communications and serve as the worldwide backbone for high-priority military communications and missile defense systems. NSA certification is a significant milestone in the progress of the PAAWNS program and provides Harris with a valuable discriminator in the protected wideband SATCOM market, said Bill Gattle, vice president, Aerospace Systems, Harris Government Communications Systems. Certification is an extremely complex and time-consuming task. It underscores our understanding of NSA requirements and the proven capabilities of the Harris Sierra II encryption module, which forms the core of the KVG 90. About Harris Corporation
