Harris Corporation receives $4.6m order for Falcon tactical radios
Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company, has received a $4.6 million order from a nation in Eastern Africa for Falcon III and Falcon II tactical radios. The radios will support the nation's implementation of an advanced command and control system that will deliver both line-of-sight and beyond line-of-sight voice and data communications for a range of missions.
Harris will provide the nation with the Falcon III RF-7800V Very-High Frequency (VHF) Combat Net Radio for high-speed voice and data. The RF-7800V provides high-speed data connectivity up to 192 Kbps, enabling wireless streaming video and high-resolution file sharing on the battlefield. The RF-7800V provides continuous coverage in the 30 to 108 MHZ frequency band at up to 50 watts of power.
Harris is also supplying the African nation with Falcon II RF-5800H high-frequency (HF) manpack radios. The RF-5800H provides secure beyond-line-of-sight radio communications in the most demanding battlefield environments. The radio features Third Generation-Automatic Link Establishment (3G-ALE), integrated data link protocols and embedded GPS receivers.
