LONDON -- L3Harris Technologies has been awarded contracts from two European nations totaling more than $100 million for Falcon manpack and handheld tactical radios. Deliveries of the PRC-158, PRC-160, PRC-152A and PRC-117G radios are underway, with completion expected in 2020.
The L3Harris PRC-158 multi-channel manpack radio features a two-channel, software-defined architecture with integrated cross-banding between waveforms - providing new advanced capabilities while maintaining backward interoperability with legacy radios. The PRC-160 is a stand-alone solution that provides data speeds up to 10 times greater than other existing high frequency radios. The PRC-152A is a wideband networking handheld radio that provides simultaneous voice, video and data in a small form-factor, with ad-hoc capabilities. The PRC-117G manpack is software defined, easily upgradeable with new waveforms such as MUOS, and is also NINE Suite B encrypted - allowing users to securely and easily interoperate with U.S., NATO and regional partners.
