Solution Provides Worldwide Access to U.S. DoD SIPRNET, NIPRNET,
and DSN Networks ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) and Rockwell Collins (NYSE:COL)
today announced that they have completed product and system
developments that enable users of the Harris Falcon(R) II
AN/PRC-150(C) high-frequency (HF) radio and RF-6700 series of
Wireless Message Terminal (WMT) products to interoperate with the
U.S. Air Force High Frequency Global Communications System (HFGCS),
also known as SCOPE Command. HFGCS is a highly automated,
high-frequency HF communication system that links U.S. Air Force
command and control (C2) functions with globally deployed strategic
and tactical airborne- and ground-based platforms. Harris has
incorporated a new feature in the AN/PRC-150(C) that permits the
user to call and link to a HFGCS ground station using
MIL-STD-188-141B Automatic Link Establishment (ALE), providing
automated voice access to any Defense Switched Network (DSN)
telephone. HFGCS subscribers can also exchange classified email
with the Department of Defense's (DoD) Secret Internet Protocol
Router Network (SIPRNET) and unclassified e-mail with the DoD Non-
classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET) using the
RF-6700 series of Wireless Message Terminal products in conjunction
with an AN/PRC-150(C). Rockwell Collins, in cooperation with the
HFGCS Program Office, has incorporated modifications to several
components of the HFGCS ground stations that enable AN/PRC-150(C)
users to access the network, including crypto setting and HF email
software changes. The HFGCS network consists of 15 worldwide HF
stations interconnected through various military and commercial
telecommunications media. The system provides a gateway between
HFGCS subscribers and the NIPRNET, SIPRNET, and DSN. The Harris
AN/PRC-150(C) HF manpack radio provides customers with secure,
long-range voice and data capabilities even in the harshest
conditions. The radio has become the long-range combat net radio of
choice for U.S. forces. Its embedded information security features
enable secure ground-to-ground and ground-to-air communications in
all HF modes and in fixed-frequency modes with SINCGARS radios. The
Harris RF-6700 series of Wireless Message Terminal products
provides the capability to transparently send error-free messages,
files, and images over HF, VHF, and UHF radio links. The embedded
NATO standard STANAG 5066 capability provides interoperable e-mail
communications for more than 30 countries worldwide. Rockwell
