Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications
and information technology company, has introduced new capabilities
in electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) that will dramatically
enhance the information security and reliability of tactical
communications for international armed forces.
Harris has developed two new high-performing waveforms –
Quicklook 3 and Quicklook-Wide -- that deliver significant advances
in ECCM techniques. The first provides enhanced agility through
ultra-fast frequency hopping rates, while the second delivers
improved throughput of 64 Kbps of IP data while frequency hopping.
The waveforms will be available on the Harris Falcon III® RF-7800V
VHF series, the world’s most technologically advanced family of
combat net radios.
“Harris is focused on addressing both the current and emerging
challenges of tactical communications around the world,’’ said
Brendan O’Connell, president, International Business, Harris RF
Communications. “We collaborated with our customers to develop
these new ECCM capabilities that deliver enhanced information
assurance to the battlefield. These new solutions expand our
portfolio to include data and hop rates never before seen in
tactical handheld radios.”
The new Harris waveforms, known as Quicklook 3 and
Quicklook-Wide, are part of an expanded line of ECCM for protecting
tactical communications from jammers or unfavorable atmospheric
conditions.
Quicklook 3 offers a 10-fold increase in frequency hopping rates
over traditional frequency hopping options and will be available in
the Falcon III RF-7800V Combat Net Radio. This makes the RF-7800V
the only tactical handheld combat net radio with ultra high-speed
frequency hopping.
Quicklook-Wide provides a five-fold increase in data throughput
for frequency hopping. Development of this waveform is part of
Harris’ continued innovation in developing wideband tactical
communications that allow for real-time transmission of voice and
data on the battlefield.
The 10-watt RF-7800V delivers the range, data and power
performance of a manpack in a portable handheld radio weighing just
1.1 kilograms. The radio family covers the 30 MHz to 108 MHz
frequency range and supports data rates up to 192 Kbps, allowing
for simultaneous voice and high-speed data to multiple users in the
battlefield. The new ECCM waveforms expand the capabilities of the
RF-7800V to make it the most technologically advanced VHF radio in
the market today. Additional features include Free Channel Search,
dual-net push-to-talk and long range MELP.
