Second quarter revenue for the communications segment increased 1.3% versus the prior year and 3.2% on an organic basis driven by international demand in tactical communications, as well as strong growth in global communications solutions and integrated vision solutions, primarily from the continued ramp up in U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) modernization. Growth from these drivers was partially offset by lower volume on legacy unmanned platforms in broadband communications and residual pandemic-related impacts within public safety. Second-quarter operating income increased 8.3% to $287 million, and operating margin expanded 170 bps to 25.5% versus prior year from higher volume, operational excellence and integration benefits. Segment funded book to bill was 1.28 and 1.10 for the quarter and first half, respectively.
In public safety, the company received a $451 million, 15-year contract from the State of Florida to upgrade and continue operating the Statewide Law Enforcement Radio System (SLERS) for first responders. Within broadband communications, the company received a $57 million contract to provide depot and sustainment services for the Modernization of Enterprise Terminals program.
