Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS), an international communications and

Eaton most recently served as Harris CapRock's global operations officer
and formerly led the business' government division, where he tripled its
annual revenue between 2008 and 2011. Eaton transitioned the business from a
bandwidth reseller to a fully managed services and terrestrial network
provider. He led the strategic growth of a key terrestrial program, the DISN
Access Transport Services (DATS) contract, and managed the subsequent
acquisition of Core180's terrestrial infrastructure, which was part of the
DATS business. This infrastructure now serves as the foundation of Harris
CapRock's
global terrestrial network.

Previously Eaton was president of G2 Satellite Solutions, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of PanAmSat, where he was responsible for developing innovative
communications solutions for the U.S. and international government markets.
While at PanAmSat he also served as executive vice president of global sales
and marketing. Prior to that, Eaton led Intelsat's global sales and customer
support organization and also served as co-founder and vice president of
sales and marketing for Integrated Network Services, Inc. During his career
Eaton has served clients in a broad range of markets including energy,
healthcare, broadcast, enterprise, telecom, and government.

"Tom has a remarkable track record in positioning businesses for their
next phase of growth," said Dan Pearson, executive vice president and chief
operating officer for Harris. "In just three years Tom grew Harris CapRock's
government division from virtually a no-name brand in the marketplace to
holding a significant position in defense communications. He did this by
focusing on customer requirements and moving from vendor status to a partner
invested in customers' mission success."

Harris also announced that Peter Shaper is retiring from the company and
stepping down from the interim position of group president.

"Peter was instrumental in bringing together the strategic acquisitions
and combining businesses to form Harris CapRock," said Pearson. "We thank him
for his dedication to making Harris CapRock the successful business that it
is today."

Under Eaton's leadership, Harris CapRock will continue to focus on
serving customers with extreme and remote communication requirements across
the energy, government and maritime markets. Reporting to Eaton are Keith
Johnson
, president of Energy Solutions; David Myers, president of Government
Solutions; and Rick Simonian, president of Maritime Solutions. They will
remain focused on building a portfolio that enables Harris CapRock to be
customers' single source of IT and communication requirements, including
terrestrial, satellite and hybrid solutions. Andrew Lucas will fill Eaton's
previous role overseeing the operation and deployment of the company's global
network and service delivery infrastructure.

"Harris CapRock is a critical component in Harris' Integrated Network
Solutions business, which is a significant growth engine for Harris," said
Pearson. "The capital, resources and focus we are investing in Harris CapRock
will enable the business to continue its worldwide expansion and be in more
places, more quickly, with more innovative solutions to meet clients'
evolving communication requirements."

satellite and terrestrial communications solutions specifically for remote
and harsh environments including the energy, government and maritime markets.
