Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) today announced it has been awarded
orders totaling approximately $130 million from the United States
Army for Falcon(R) II AN/PRC-150(C) high frequency (HF) radio
systems for tactical, secure, and joint communications
applications. Contracting agencies include the U.S. Army's

standardization on the AN/PRC-150(C) that is broadly used by the
Army Reserve and Army National Guard," said Dana Mehnert,
president, Harris RF Communications Division. "These radios provide
secure voice and data over long distances without relying on
satellite infrastructure and have established a reputation for
reliability in both combat and emergency situations. Falcon II HF

the world and have become the standard for the UK Ministry of
Defence HF radio standardization program and for many NATO and
coalition partners." The Falcon II AN/PRC-150(C) HF manpack radio

beyond-line-of-sight radio communications in the most demanding
battlefield environments. 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, thus becoming the long-range combat radio of
