L3Harris Technologies is in line to provide UHF SATCOM radio systems and related equipment to the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) in an FMS proposal worth $65 million, the US State Department announced on 9 February.
The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) has requested 517 units of the AN/PRC-158 Falcon III modular multi-channel manpack radio.
Also included in the proposed FMS are crypto fill devices and power support, as well as ancillary equipment, training and logistics support.
AN/PRC-158 covers the 30-2,500MHz frequency range and can run both narrowband and wideband waveforms, according to Shephard Defence Insight.
‘This proposed sale will ensure NATO warfighters have access to the latest C3I systems and technologies, and will be interoperable with US forces,’ the State Department noted.
It added: ‘An updated UHF TACSAT [tactical satellite communication] radios in the hands of NATO allies and partners will offer significant C3I capabilities at all echelons, from the operational level down to the lowest small unit tactical formation.’
