Harris Corp., Melbourne, Fla., was awarded a two-year, $9.1 million follow-on production contract from the U.S. Navy to supply digital map computers that provide military aircrews with advanced situational awareness via cockpit displays. Harris will supply more than 200 digital map computers for use on a variety of military jets and helicopters. The Tactical Airborne Moving Map Capability (TAMMAC) Digital Map Computer provides aircrews with a graphical presentation of the aircraft’s position and the relative positions of targets, threats, terrain features, planned mission flight path and other information, the company said. The TAMMAC map is used on the U.S. Navy’s FA-18C/D, FA-18E/F and EA-18G; the U.S. Marine Corps’ F/A-18A/C/D, AV-8B, AH-1Z and UH-1Y; the EH-101 for Denmark and Italy; the CF-18 A/B for Canada; and the FA-18A/B for Australia.
