Harris Corp awarded $300m contract from international customer for tactical radio modernization
Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company, has received a multi-year contract exceeding $300 million from an international customer to provide military radios and other equipment as part of a tactical communications modernization program.
In the initial phase of the contract, involving orders greater than $100 million, Harris will provide the full range of communication capabilities from its Falcon II line, including Falcon II RF-5800M multiband radios; RF-5800V Very High-Frequency (VHF) radios; and RF-5800H High-Frequency (HF) radios.
"Our tactical radios form the backbone of critically important systems that enable defense forces to communicate by voice and data in a range of missions, including defense and homeland security," said Andy Start, president, international business unit, Harris RF Communications. "Our Falcon radios set the standard for reliable and highly secure tactical communications."
Falcon II RF-5800H high-frequency radios provide beyond line-of-sight communications in the most demanding environments, along with advanced features such as Third Generation-Automatic Link Establishment (3G-ALE), integrated data link protocols and embedded GPS receivers.
The Falcon II RF-5800M is a software-programmable handheld radio supporting continuous VHF/UHF operation across the 30 to 512 MHz bandwidth. RF-5800M radios provide multi-mission, multi-mode secure interoperability in a compact, lightweight package.
The Falcon II RF-5800V is a lightweight VHF handheld radio that provides squad-level communications using the Harris Quicklook waveform and Citadel II encryption.
