HIMARS enables the troops to engage and defeat artillery, air defence concentrations, trucks, light armour and personnel carriers, as well as support troop and supply concentrations.

The new contract is valued in excess of $3.5m and is likely to have a ceiling value of approximately $7m.

Harris was subcontracted by Lockheed Martin to develop electronics for the US Army’s MLRS/HIMARS platform earlier this year.
