Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company, has received a $44 million order to supply Falcon tactical radio systems to a customer in Asia.

Harris will supply Falcon II RF-5800H high-frequency (HF) radio systems for long-haul, beyond line-of-sight terrestrial communications. The company also will supply ancillary and support equipment, spare and repair parts, and logistics support.

The Harris Falcon II RF-5800H is the most advanced HF radio in the world.

The radio also has an extended range that provides access to low-band
VHF. The built-in, multi-waveform modem and 600/2400 bps vocoders provide high data throughput and secure digital voice over the most challenging HF channels.
