The Falcon III AN/PRC-117G radio features a software-defined, upgradable voice and data platform that supports network-enabled missions such as convoy tracking, mission operations planning and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC).
The radio is the first US joint tactical radio system (JTRS) software communications architecture-certified, NSA type-1 certified wideband manpack radio system deployed by all branches of the US Department of Defense (DoD).
Harris RF Communications group president Dana Mehnert said, "The AN/PRC-117G delivers transformational voice and wideband networking capabilities to the soldier, including the first type-1 implementation of the JTRS soldier radio waveform."
The system and other Falcon III radios have also been adopted by US allies including the UK, Canada, Germany, Australia and other Nato countries.
