Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company, has received orders totaling $13 million from the US Navy for Falcon III and Falcon II tactical radio systems.
Harris will deliver its radio systems to Naval Expeditionary Forces, who handle a variety of ground-based missions including ordnance disposal. The radios will provide the Navy with both line-of-sight and beyond line-of-sight communication capabilities for its various missions.
"Harris' Falcon radios provide US Department of Defense ground forces with a complete range of tactical communication capabilities to address their missions," said Brendan O'Connell, president, Department of Defense business, Harris RF Communications. "Because our radios are software-defined, they are also adaptable to meet emerging requirements and changing mission standards."

The company's Falcon family of software-defined tactical radio systems encompasses manpack, handheld and vehicular applications. Falcon III is the next generation of radios supporting the US military's Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) requirements, as well as network-centric operations worldwide. Harris RF Communications is also a leading supplier of assured communications systems and equipment for public safety, utility and transportation markets -- with products ranging from the most advanced IP voice and data networks to portable and mobile single- and multiband radios.
