US Army Contracts Harris For AN/PRC-150(C) High-Frequency Radios And Services Harris announced Tuesday it has been awarded Falcon II radio and service contracts by the U.S. Army valued at more than $30 million. Delivery of products began in late December and will be completed by June 2005. The service contracts will continue throughout 2005 and include onsite training, installation and maintenance by a team of Harris field engineers for all Harris equipment in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Under the terms of the contracts, Harris is supplying high-frequency (HF) AN/PRC-150(C) radios in manpack and vehicular configurations. The radios will be deployed to support Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom in addition to the Army's Modularity program. "The reliability of the AN/PRC-150(C) has been repeatedly proven in combat, and this order reflects the U.S. Army's confidence in this radio's battlefield performance and Harris' support in theatre," said Dana Mehnert, vice president and general manager of business development and operations, Harris, RF Communications Division. The AN/PRC-150(C) is the only HF radio with embedded communications security that has been certified for transmission of U.S. classified information. Along with the Harris AN/PRC-117F(C) multiband, multimission radio, the AN/PRC-150(C) has provided the mainstay of tactical Beyond Line of Site (BLOS) radio communications for U.S. forces deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. |
