Harris Corporation receives $6.1m order from US DoD
Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company, has received a $6.1 million order to supply Falcon II AN/VRC-103 multiband, multimission vehicular radio systems to the US Department of Defense for use in Mine Resistant Ambush Protected All-Terrain Vehicles (M-ATVs).
The Harris AN/VRC-103 is a fully integrated communication system that includes the Falcon II AN/PRC-117F software-defined manpack radio. Widely deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, the AN/PRC-117F covers multiple frequencies using military standard voice and data waveforms, ensuring interoperability with a variety of ground-based and airborne equipment. The radio features advanced voice, data and tactical satellite capabilities for communicating on the networked battlefield.
The AN/VRC-103 and associated AN/PRC-117F will be installed in US Army MRAP-ATV vehicles. Harris radios are installed in the majority of M-ATV vehicles currently deployed.
"The AN/PRC-117F was the first to provide line-of-sight voice and data, ground-to-air and beyond line-of-sight satellite communications interoperability in a single manpack radio," said Brendan O'Connell, president, US Department of Defense business, Harris RF Communications. "This radio will provide reliable, secure communications to M-ATV personnel embarking on these dangerous missions."
