The Navy will determine work location with each individual order under the firm-fixed-price contract and the Pentagon expects work to finish by Aug. 30, 2017.
Earlier this month, the Pentagon announced Thales and Harris Corp. (NYSE: HRS) as awardees on a potential $1.35 billion Navy contract vehicle for handheld radios.
Through that four-year contract, the Navy wants to acquire Type 1-certified, software-defined, handheld radios for use in several types of operational missions.
Harris and Thales also are the awardees of a $391 million contract to provide handheld and backpack radio kits to U.S. Southern Command.
