Highlights:
- Provides on-the-move connectivity for
warfighters
- More than 30,000 MUOS-capable
AN/PRC-117G radios already fielded
- Allows AN/PRC-117G to transmit secure
voice and data
Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) has received Type-1 National
Security Agency (NSA) certification for its Harris Falcon III®
AN/PRC-117G Multiband Networking Manpack Radio to run the Mobile
User Objective System (MUOS) waveform. The NSA Type-1 certification
allows secure voice and data communications on the AN/PRC-117G
using the MUOS waveform.
MUOS is the next-generation U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)
military communications system for delivering mobile satellite
connectivity through tactical radios. Harris has already
successfully conducted satellite transmissions using the MUOS
waveform.
Harris has delivered more than 30,000 MUOS-capable AN/PRC-117G
tactical radios which will be able to deliver the enhanced
capability to warfighters with a software upgrade, a diplexer
and an antenna kit. This innovative and quickly-deployable
solution is significantly more cost and time-efficient
than procuring new radios.
“This NSA certification for the MUOS-enabled AN/PRC-117G allows
us to continue providing value and leading-edge communications
technology to the warfighter on the battlefield,” said Chris Young,
president, Harris Communication Systems.
