Harris to upgrade US MRAP radios
Harris Corporation has been awarded a $12 million order to upgrade the tactical radios used by the US Air Force (USAF) for multiband communications in Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles, the company announced on 4 May.
Under the contract, the company will provide its Falcon III AN/PRC-152A wideband networking handheld radios that deliver high-speed networked data and secure voice communications, along with internal GPS capabilities for situational awareness.
The radio, which utilises the company's next-generation Adaptive Networking Wideband Waveform, are designed create efficiencies in space-constrained, vehicular environments.
Chris Young, president, Harris Communication Systems, said: 'Harris Falcon radios have contributed to the success of MRAP missions by providing robust, reliable connectivity in all types of terrain. This latest order will put the newest generation of networking waveforms into the hands of air force security forces, civil engineers and tactical air control party personnel.'
