Harris Corporation Receives $20 Million in Orders to Provide Falcon III AN/PRC-117G Multiband Manpack Radios for U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps MRAP Vehicles

Harris Corporation HRS has received $20 million in orders from the U.S. Army's Project Manager-MRAP via the GSA, FAS Assisted Acquisition Services to provide Falcon III® AN/PRC-117G multiband manpack radios and associated AN/VRC-114 vehicular amplifier adapters for use in Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles. PM-MRAP is acquiring the AN/PRC-117G radios and related vehicular systems to provide the ability to upgrade to MUOS satellite communications as directed by Army G3/5/7 LANDWARNET. Currently, the majority of the U.S. Army MRAP vehicles are equipped with the Harris Falcon II® AN/PRC-117F. The acquisition of AN/PRC-117G radios provides SATCOM on-the-move capability to MRAP vehicles and could expand capabilities available to crew members to include streaming video, simultaneous voice and data feeds, collaborative chat and connectivity to secure networks.
