ealigned segments focus on strategic vertical markets<br />

During fiscal 2011, we realigned our operating segments to further expand into adjacent markets and global<br />

regions that are growing faster and have higher margins than some of our traditional government markets.<br />

The new Integrated Network Solutions segment combines the resources and capabilities of several existing<br />

and recently acquired businesses targeting the fast-growing, global market for highly reliable, secure – and<br />

integrated – communications and IT networks.<br />

Our operating segments are focused on an expanded set of global vertical markets where Harris technologies<br />

can provide compelling, value-added solutions – defense and homeland security, national intelligence,<br />

civilian government, international government systems, public safety, energy, maritime, new media and<br />

healthcare.<br />

The realignment and vertical markets focus builds on our strong foundation as an aerospace and defense<br />

company, and is helping to transform Harris into a broader technology company with differentiated solutions<br />

for both global government and high-growth commercial markets.<br />

investments for future growth<br />

Combined with the realigned segments, Harris invested significantly in new initiatives to build its core<br />

capabilities and expand its presence in strategic vertical markets. Key fiscal 2011 investments included:<br />

• Creating a state-of-the-art, centralized manufacturing facility in greater Rochester, New York, for the<br />

RF Communications segment’s tactical and public safety radio systems.<br />

• Opening the 100,000-square-foot Harris Cyber Integration Center – the nation’s first specialized facility<br />

to provide government and commercial customers with secure, managed cloud application hosting<br />

services within a trusted environment.<br />

• Combining the acquisitions of CapRock Communications, Schlumberger’s Global Connectivity Services<br />

business, and the terrestrial network infrastructure assets from Core180 to form the premier global<br />

provider of managed satellite and terrestrial communications solutions specifically designed for customers<br />

in remote and harsh environments.<br />
