The HAMR from L3HARRIS is a Multi-Channel Radio that operates in 30–520 MHz, 762–870 MHz (narrowband) and 225–450 MHz (wideband) frequency ranges. It repackages Falcon III® AN/PRC-152A radios into an avionics-ruggedized form factor, with two wideband channels and maximized interoperability for air-to-air and air-to-ground communications. This radio employs a JTRS-approved, SCA-compliant architecture that can accommodate changing mission needs and emerging waveforms with simple software upgrades. It has appropriate accessories to meet specific battlefield scenarios, including power amplifiers with LNAs and tunable cosite filters. This radio provides reliable SATCOM connectivity and is interoperable with all Falcon III radios, legacy VHF/UHF radio systems, UHF SATCOM waveforms, public safety radios, and Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW) systems.
The HAMR uses L3Harris Advanced Networking Wideband Waveform (ANW2C) to deliver high-speed IP-networked data and Full Motion Video. It supports AM, ASK, FM, FSK, PSK, CPM & GMSK transmission modes and networked waveforms that extend battlespace networks beyond line-of-sight without consuming satellite bandwidth. In the Tx chain, this airborne radio delivers an output power of up to 5 W with a harmonics suppression of 40 dB and in the Rx chain, it has a sensitivity of up to -116 dBm and provides an adjacent channel rejection of more than -40 dB. This radio requires a DC supply of 28 V and can be controlled via USB, USB RNDIS host and device, Ethernet and RS-232 interfaces.
The HAMR is available in a package that measures 15.75 x 15.24 x 22.61 cm and meets the shock and vibration requirements of MIL-STD-810G standard for fixed and rotary wing aircraft. It is ideal for use in air-to-air and air-to-ground communications in UAV or manned aircraft operations.
