Harris announces Middle East RF-7850M radio order
Harris Corporation will supply its RF-7850M wideband handheld tactical radio to an unnamed country in the Middle East under a $15 million contract announced on 22 July.
The multi-band, multi-mission radio provides users with advanced tactical communication capabilities. Its new embedded interface gives users access to a library of applications that provide situational awareness, tactical messaging, file transferring and radio configuration support from a standard web browser. The interface is fully customisable through a software-development kit, simplifying the process of creating and distributing new applications.
Brendan O’Connell, president, International business unit, Harris RF Communications, said: ‘The RF-7850M combines the portability of a handheld with much of the functionality and performance of a larger manpack in areas such as range, bandwidth and power output. The radio provides capabilities for sharing situational awareness feeds and command and control information while on-the-move, allowing commanders to make informed decisions in real time.’
The RF-7850M-HH supports the latest wideband and narrowband networking waveforms. Lightweight and highly portable, the radio also is fully interoperable with the Harris Falcon II and Falcon III families of radios widely used by NATO and other global military forces.
