Harris announces Middle East radio order
Harris Corporation has been awarded a $47 million order to supply wideband radio systems to a Middle East nation, the company announced on 13 March.
The radio system order is part of the unnamed nation's continuing tactical communications modernisation programme.
The systems will be used to support a command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) network used by the nation's military and security forces.
This network integrates software-defined Harris Falcon III RF-7800 tactical radios, which include the RF-7800H wideband high-frequency radio, RF-7800V combat net radio, RF-7800M multiband networking radio and RF-7800I vehicular intercom systems.
Brendan O'Connell, president, tactical communications, Harris RF Communications, said: 'These systems provide this nation's forces with critical real-time tactical information and enable seamless communications across the breadth of the entire brigade combat team.
'Harris Falcon radios are increasingly being integrated into tactical communication systems that connect headquarters to the field through real-time voice, data and ISR feeds.'
The Harris Falcon family of software-defined tactical radio systems includes handheld, man-pack and vehicle applications. The Falcon III family is a next-generation family of radio systems that supports the US military's joint tactical radio system requirements and network-centric operations worldwide.
