US Army Orders $36 Million in L3Harris Hawkeye 4 Lite Satellite Terminals for Secure Links With NATO

L3Harris received a $36 million US Army order for Hawkeye 4 Lite satellite terminals supporting the Command and Control Network Optimized for Warfighting initiative. The rapidly deployable terminals use field-swappable components and are intended to provide secure satellite-communications interoperability between American forces and NATO partners. The acquisition supports the Army's transition toward more flexible command-and-control networks as legacy communications equipment is retired. Announced on November 3, the order covers communications equipment for fielded networks, while the company did not disclose the number of terminals or a delivery schedule for the award.
