Harris Boosts Tsunami Defense for Mediterranean

Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) will provide communications technology, engineering services and operations support for a new offshore sensor system to help detect and provide early warnings of tsunamis in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

Harris is supporting CSnet International, Inc., whose CSnet (CYPRUS) Ltd. affiliate is teamed with the Oceanography Centre of Cyprus to develop and deploy a prototype Tsunami Warning and Early Response system for Cyprus (TWERC).

“Harris developed and has successfully operated an OceanNet buoy in the eastern Mediterranean to provide oceanographic data for this region since 2004, ” said Rick Simonian, president of Harris Maritime Communications Services. “Adding tsunami-warning sensors to the more comprehensive OCB system is a natural extension of this unique service offering.”
