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 DoD.
The system and other Falcon III radios have also been adopted by US allies including the UK, Canada, Germany, Australia and other Nato countries.
