An international communications and information technology company, Harris Corporation is to make available the next stage of multi-level C4I systems to an Asian military client, amounting to $99 million, where C4I stands for command and control, communications, computers and intelligence.
These include Falcon III® and Falcon II® tactical radios, the RF-7800S Secure Personal Radio, RF-7800M Multi band Networking Radio, RF-7800V VHF Combat Net Radio, RF-7800W High-Capacity Line-of-Sight Radio, and RF-5800H High Frequency Radio.
According to Andy Start, president, Harris RF Communications, the transaction exhibits the potential of the company to render total system solutions from their vast range of communication products, which have interoperability and embedded security while concurrently operating with task applications that are galvanized by employing networking products having improved bandwidth and dependability. This technology would gratify the needs of both the present and the future.
The Falcon III RF-7800S is a light, handy radio, offering a full duplex voice capability, which permits many officers to communicate with numerous listeners over a 2 kilometer range. The Falcon III RF-7800V renders 192 Kbps of high-speed data connectivity which is a fast VHF combat net radio, giving a uniform coverage ranging from 30 to 108 MHZ frequency band, consuming a power of 50 watts. The Falcon III RF-7800M, a tactical radio through the Harris Adaptive Networking Wideband Waveform (ANW2) provides the soldiers with a unique knowledge of the battlefield using wireless, high bandwidth networked communication systems from a frequency of 30 MHz to 2 GHz.
The Falcon III RF-7800W which is a wireless IP networking radio provides a unwavering broadband connectivity for long distance critical mission applications in point-to-point and multipoint configurations, thereby allowing soldiers to use Ethernet intensive low-latency applications that are needed to get past foes. The Falcon II RF-5800H is a HF radio that displays data rates up to 9600 bps of Automatic Link Establishment (3G-ALE) having advanced error free protocols, an embedded GPS receiver, an in built Internet Protocol (IP) interface, Citadel encryption, digital ECCM (Electromagnetic Counter-Counter Measure) techniques and MELP (Mixed-Excitation Linear Predictive) digital voice.
