Harris books Middle East radio order
An undisclosed Middle East nation has signed an $11 million contract with Harris to supply Falcon III RF-7800 series multiband, multi-mission radios, the company announced on 17 August.
The order is a part of a wider modernisation effort currently underway by the customer nation. It includes the RF-7850M-HH multiband networking handheld radio and the RF-7800H-MP wideband tactical manpack radio.
The RF-7850M-HH radio offers wideband communications and mobile, ad-hoc networking along with legacy narrowband waveforms. The RF-7800H-MP radio delivers expanded data capabilities in long-range, beyond-line-of-sight environments.
Brendan O'Connell, president, tactical communications, Harris Communication Systems, said: ‘These radios support the customer's operational requirements for simultaneous, secure voice and high-bandwidth data across a wide range of military missions.
‘Our continued investment in the Falcon portfolio, supported by our strong presence in the region, enables us to transition customers from legacy voice-dominated tactical radios to networked wideband tactical radios.’
Deliveries under this order are already complete.
