The U.S. Army has ordered 1,000 new L3Harris Technologies
(NYSE:LHX) Falcon® IV AN/PRC-171 Compact Team Radios to ensure
soldiers at any tactical level can transmit crucial information to
command teams across an integrated network.
The Army placed its first delivery order of the Compact Team
Radio, an easy-to-use and ruggedized
solution leveraging robust technologies from fielded and emerging
company products. This affordable radio allows voice and sensor
data from all users to be shared in true Joint All-Domain Command
and Control fashion, supporting the Army's connected-network
vision.
“The delivery of these single-channel radios furthers L3Harris’
support of the U.S. Army’s new Integrated Tactical Network by
enabling all tactical operators to share situational awareness
information across the entire network,” said Bryant Henson,
President, Tactical Communications, L3Harris. “These radios will
field alongside our HMS Manpack and Leader Radios at the squad
level—extending the network and warfighter effectiveness to all
soldiers.”
The AN/PRC-171 offers more than 20 hours of continuous and
reliable voice and data communications on a single battery and can
seamlessly interface with other L3Harris solutions, including the
Enhanced Night Vision—Binocular (ENVG-B). The radio fully supports
the Army’s unified network strategy, offering a broad portfolio of
waveforms that can survive through disadvantaged line-of-sight,
with flexibility to upgrade waveforms as new technology
emerges.
The radio’s accessories are interchangeable with the rest of the
L3Harris Falcon family of radios and supported with in-field
upgrades to emerging wideband and narrowband resilient
waveforms.
