Business Wire
Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications
and information technology company, has received $5 million in
orders to supply Falcon III® AN/PRC-117G multiband manpack radios
to the Republic of Poland. These radios will provide the country’s
armed forces with ground-to-ground and ground-to-air tactical
communications in both line-of-sight and beyond line-of-sight
environments.
Poland becomes the eighth country to acquire the Falcon III
AN/PRC-117G, a first-of-its-kind radio system that delivers mobile
ad-hoc networking, voice and wideband data communications to the
battlefield. Software-defined and upgradeable, the AN/PRC-117G
supports a growing number of network-enabled missions with
streaming video, collaborative chat and other combat
applications.
“The AN/PRC-117G is rapidly emerging as the radio of choice as
nations modernize their tactical communications to capitalize on
the transition to the networked battlefield,” said Andy Start,
president, international business, Harris RF Communications.
“Poland is acquiring the radios to provide its forces with current
capabilities as well as a platform for emerging requirements. Our
Falcon family of radios provides the backbone for systems that
address the biggest communication challenges our customers
face.”
In addition to Poland, the AN/PRC-117G has been acquired by the
United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, Germany,
Slovakia and Australia. Harris has shipped more than 15,000 of
these radios worldwide, with more than a third deployed in support
of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.
