Harris receives order from US Marine Corps
Harris has received a new $15 million order from the US Marine Corps for expanding wideband tactical networking applications.
Under the order, Harris will provide the marine corps' AN/MRC-145 programme with Falcon III vehicular radio systems. The system is based on the combat-proven Falcon III AN/PRC-117G, a software-upgradeable manpack radio that delivers tactical internet capability to the battlefield and allows users to communicate by voice, video and data for enhanced command and control and situational awareness.
George Helm, president, Harris RF Communications' defence department, said: 'This order represents a strategic investment that will enable the marine corps to keep pace with rapidly changing technology.'
Helm added: 'Our radios meet current military requirements and are positioned for future enhancements through software upgrades. We have already incorporated the Soldier Radio Waveform into the radio, and will be adding advanced tactical satellite communications capabilities offered by the new Mobile User Objective System. This flexible approach fulfils the vision of the Joint Tactical Radio System.'
