ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris
Corporation (NYSE:HRS) today announced that it has received a
delivery order totaling $35 million from the Marine Corps Systems
Command (MARCORSYSCOM). Under the contract, Harris is supplying the
Marines with high-frequency (HF) AN/PRC-150(C) Falcon(R) II radio
systems for tactical, secure, and joint communications
applications. "Harris is fully committed to supporting the U.S.
Marine Corps," said Dana Mehnert, president, Harris RF
Communications Division. "We are proud to be able to offer rapid
delivery of these secure tactical radios and to provide the
technical field support that will help to enhance the effectiveness
of the Marine Corps missions." The AN/PRC-150(C) manpack and
AN/VRC-104(V)3 vehicular systems will be used to modernize the
legacy MRC-138s and GRC-193s high-frequency tactical radio systems
of the Marine Corps active duty and reserve components and also
will be used for other USMC programs. The Harris AN/PRC-150(C) HF
manpack radio, which provides the Marines with secure, long-range
voice and data capabilities even in the harshest conditions, 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. Harris
AN/PRC-150(C) is an advanced, high-frequency radio covering the 1.6
to 60 MHz frequency spectrum. The AN/PRC-150(C) is the only HF
radio with embedded communications security that has been certified
for transmission of U.S. classified information. The AN/VRC-104(V)3
vehicular product is a fully integrated communications system that
includes the Harris AN/PRC-150(C) tactical radio and 150 watt
high-frequency power amplifier. This system also covers the 30 to
60 MHz frequency range offering secure Type-1 interoperability with
the Marine Corps' AN/PRC-117F(C) multiband multimission radios
(MBMMR). Harris is an international communications and information
technology company serving government and commercial markets in
