CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- (Africa
Aerospace, hall #8, booth B5) - Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) today
introduced the RF-300U, its new Secure Personal Radio (SPR) for the
worldwide market. The radio system provides secure, digitized voice
and data communications to the individual soldier, and fits
seamlessly into a variety of network-centric systems, including
those based on the highly successful Harris Falcon(R) II family of
tactical radios. The system features selectable high-grade
encryption, and its 350-450 MHz frequency band provides worldwide
coverage and excellent range in both urban and rural environments.
"The SPR's small, lightweight design fits easily in a pocket, and
offers completely automatic and hands-free operation," said Steve
Marschilok, vice president and general manager of Harris
International Products and Systems. "It offers both traditional
narrowband communication, as well as a sophisticated wideband
waveform that provide secure, full-duplex voice conferencing,
situational awareness, and high-speed data. The flexibility of the
new SPR helps to bring greater command and control capability to
the squad level and to the individual soldier." The radio is
designed for highly integrated C4I capability, incorporating a
Global Positioning System receiver and standard USB interfacing,
allowing easy-to-use position tracking and messaging services while
reducing the load carried by the soldier. All transmissions are
secured by standard AES or customer-unique Citadel(R) digital
encryption that protect tactically relevant command and situational
information from eavesdroppers. The SPR's unique wireless network
does not require infrastructure and provides reliable communication
even where backbone and trunk services are not available. Harris is
an international communications and information technology company
serving government and commercial markets in more than 150
countries. With headquarters in Melbourne, Florida, the company has
annual sales of $3.5 billion and nearly 14,000 employees -
including more than 6,000 engineers and scientists - dedicated to
