The radios are expected to meet the battalion requirements for high-frequency, wideband and multiband networking and will also provide interoperable communications to support the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) troops in Afghanistan.
Harris RF Communications international business president Brendan O’Connell said that the latest Falcon III radios order by the country, which had already acquired Harris equipment, reflected reliability and effectiveness of Falcon tactical radios.
"This order highlights the global strength of the Harris Falcon portfolio and our significant investments in tactical radio systems," O’Connell said.
