Harris is providing DoD with additional tactical satellite radios for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected-ATV vehicles.
Falcon II AN/VRC-103 radio systems provide users with reliable and secure line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight communications.
Harris is providing an integrated system of communications found in almost all MRAP-ATV vehicles currently deployed to Afghanistan.
Melbourne, FL/Rochester, NY - Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, has received a $5.5 million order to supply additional Falcon II(r) AN/VRC-103 multiband, multimission vehicular radio systems to the U.S. 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(r) AN/PRC-117F(C) 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 U.S. Army MRAP-ATV vehicles. Harris Falcon series radios are installed in the majority of M-ATV vehicles currently deployed.
"The AN/PRC-117F was the first to integrate 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, U.S. Department of Defense business, Harris RF Communications. "This radio will provide the warfighter with reliable, secure communications as they embark on their daily missions."
