Harris unveils new manpack radio

Harris Corp. has unveiled its Falcon III RF-300H, which the company bills as the world's smallest, lightest and fastest wideband manpack radio.

The RF-300H "replaces the US Type 1 AN/PRC-150(C) — delivering data up to 10 times faster in a package that is 20 percent smaller and lighter," according to a Harris news release. "The RF-300H is fully backwards compatible with the Harris Falcon II HF product line, with more than 100,000 radio units deployed worldwide. It provides a reliable alternative to satellite communications for beyond line-of-sight voice and data communications and also features either a commercial GPS or a Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM)."

"The new Harris RF-300H manpack radio provides more security and enhanced wideband HF than any other radio in the marketplace," said Chris Young, president of Harris Communication Systems.
