Harris has been delivering communications solutions for missile defense since the inception of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) under then President Ronald Reagan. Today, working with Northrop Grumman and Boeing, Harris is designing, developing, and testing the In-Flight Interceptor Communications System (IFICS) Data Terminals for the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA). The IFICS provides the critical communications link between ground fire control and the ballistic missile interceptors in flight. The Harris-built IFICS has performed successfully in each of the MDA In-Flight tests. IFICS Data Terminal systems are located at the Ronald Reagan Test Site (RTS) in the Marshall Islands and at the company’s facilities in Palm Bay.
