Harris Corp. has won a $15 million Marine Corps contract to provide Falcon III radios for the Marine AN/MRC-145 program. The system is based on the Falcon III AN/PRC-117G, a software-upgradeable manpack radio.
"This order represents a strategic investment that will enable the Marine Corps to keep pace with rapidly changing technology," said George Helm, president of the Department of Defense division of Harris RF Communications. "Our radios meet current military requirements and are positioned for future enhancements through software upgrades."

Harris has already incorporated the Soldier Radio Waveform into the radio, and will be adding advanced tactical satellite communications capabilities offered by the new Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), Helm added.
"This flexible approach fulfills the vision of the Joint Tactical Radio System," he said.
