Harris RF Communications International business president Brendan O’Connell said the radios would deliver high-performance voice and data capabilities required by troops for successful completion of a wide range of missions.
"The Falcon III family of radios offers trusted, combat-proven communications solutions to meet current and emerging mission requirements by armed forces around the world," O’Connell said.
The AN/PRC-152(C) is a software upgradeable, single-channel handheld radio designed to facilitate secure, real-time information exchange and communication between dismounted troops at all points of need during coordination, combat and crisis scenarios.
Equipped with an embedded GPS receiver, the NSA Type-1 certified radio is capable of providing voice and data capabilities in the 30MHz to 512MHz frequency range, with a high-band option that extends range coverage to 762 MHz to 870MHz.
