The full-loop antennas will enable field personnel to deliver targeting commands to the missiles through long-distance HF voice and data radio links.

They can be easily installed on the HIMARS platform, providing improved, long-distance communication between HIMARS and its supporting units when compared with traditional line-of-sight communications.

The RF-3134 are capable of operating under the same military environmental conditions as the rest of the Falcon II family.

The antenna includes full-loop antenna elements and tower, as well as a protective boot, coupler/PA cable, and a high-voltage cable installation kit.
