The CEO stated they're expecting EPS to clock in at $5.85 - $6.05 for FY18. At 122, that gives a P/E ratio of a tad over 20. Not sure where you get 18 from unless it's analyst estimates.
Regardless, HRS has a pretty good niche; secure communications in many different scenarios. Besides the military applications, they are dominant in "first responder" communications in the civilian world.
I trimmed a little when it hit $100 and I'm kicking myself a bit for that. Right now, I consider it overvalued but if you're willing to hold for the long term (read: years), they should provide a decent return. They certainly are investor-focussed with their dividend policy. Don't be scared about the large writeoffs that show up in their financials quite frequently -- they do a lot of research and it often doesn't turn out as expected hence the writeoffs.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
