Harris Corporation will deliver Falcon III tactical radios to the Australian Defence Force (ADF) under an order from the Australian Defence Materiel Organisation as part of project JP2097. The $38 million order was announced on 15 December.

The AN/PRC-152A handheld and AN/PRC-117G manpack radios will provide the ADF with secure Type-1 tactical voice and data communications, including wideband tactical networking capabilities, and line-of-sight, ground-to-air and tactical satellite communications.

The wideband network enables users to send and receive tactical voice, video, and data, resulting in enhanced situational awareness and real-time intelligence. In addition, the AN/PRC-152A and AN/PRC-117G provide users with interoperability through legacy narrowband waveforms.

Brendan O’Connell, president, international business, Harris RF Communications, said: ‘This order complements the significant capabilities of Australia’s JP 2072 programme and expands our ongoing collaboration with the Australian Department of Defence. Harris Falcon radios provide the ADF with wideband capabilities, a broad suite of interoperable waveforms, and the ability to easily accommodate future Joint Tactical Radio Systems waveforms.’

ADF Project JP2097 aims to deliver enhancements to Networked Communications to meet Special Operations Command Land Mobility (LM) and Command, Control and Communications (C3) requirements.
