Harris Corporation has received a $12 million order to upgrade the U.S. Air Force’s tactical radios currently used to provide multiband communications on Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles. This award was received during the third quarter of Harris’ 2016 fiscal year. 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.
Harris will be supplying Falcon III AN/PRC-152A Wideband Networking Handheld Radios, which deliver simultaneous secure voice and high-speed networked data and feature internal GPS capabilities for situational awareness.
These radios use the next-generation Harris Adaptive Networking Wideband Waveform (ANW2). They also feature a highly portable design that creates efficiencies in space-constrained, vehicular environments.
