AUSA 2014: First wideband Rifleman team radios delivered
Harris Corporation has delivered the first production units of its Falcon III RF-330E-TR wideband team radio to the US Department of Defense (DoD).
The Falcon III RF-330E-TR is an independently-developed and fully-compliant solution for the DoD’s Rifleman Radio programme.
The radio is designed to connect warfighters operating on the tactical edge into the tactical network for enhanced command and control and situational awareness. To meet the needs of the dismounted soldier, it is small and lightweight, with advanced battery life and transmission range.
The RF-330E-TR has a built-in display with an intuitive visual interface which simplifies radio configuration and programming, validates network availability, and monitors radio status. The radio has been certified by the National Security Agency for Type-1 information security, the Joint Interoperability Test Command for interoperability and the Joint Tactical Radio System Test and Evaluation Laboratory for Software Communications Architecture compliance.
George Helm, president, DoD business, Harris RF Communications, said: ‘The DoD has committed to full and open competition in the Handheld, Manpack and Small Form Factor (HMS) Radio programmes. Our initial shipments of the RF-330E-TR reflect our confidence and readiness for this competition. We look forward to the opportunity to deliver this enhanced capability to the US warfighter.’
