LONDON, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- (DSEi, booth #321) -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) and Rockwell Collins (NYSE:COL), both leading suppliers of secure, tactical radios for defense forces worldwide, today announced that they have completed the development of interoperable ground and airborne communications products for the international marketplace. The products are based on Harris' Falcon(R) II portfolio of tactical radios and Rockwell Collins' TALON family of airborne radios. Harris has incorporated the advanced TALON Electronic Counter- Countermeasures (ECCM) waveform into the Harris RF-5800M and RF-5800U tactical radios, which are part of the Harris Falcon(R) II family. Rockwell Collins has incorporated the Harris Quicklook 1A waveform and Harris Citadel(R) embedded encryption into its TALON airborne multiband radios. "The resulting products comprise a comprehensive, multiband, very-high- frequency/ultra-high frequency (VHF/UHF) ground-to-air solution," said Steve Marschilok, vice president and general manager of international products and systems business, Harris RF Communications Division. "We are extremely pleased by the results of this joint effort and that we can meet the needs of customers who require a complete tactical radio system with secure ground-to- ground and ground-to-air capabilities." Harris delivered the TALON ECCM capability to international programs in 2005 and offers TALON as an option for the RF-5800M and RF-5800U manpack radio models. The Falcon II Multiband Tactical Radio System family covers the frequency range from 30 to 512 MHz and offers a full suite of ECCM capabilities, including Quicklook 1A, Havequick I/II and now, the TALON waveform. The Falcon II's software-defined radio (SDR) architecture is a key element in major military communications standardization programs, including the Bowman Programme in the U.K. and the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) program in the U.S. The Rockwell Collins TALON system provides normal and secure two-way voice and data communications over the 30 to 400 MHz frequency ranges. The system employs the latest developments in the successful Collins ARC-210 radio line, providing interface capability with other communication systems. It can apply an ECCM waveform that can be easily changed to create country-unique waveforms.
