[Satellite TODAY 10-21-10] Harris Corp. received $13 million in Falcon 2 and Falcon 3 tactical radio system orders from the U.S. Navy, the company announced.
    Harris will deliver its radio systems to Naval Expeditionary Forces to support a variety of ground-based missions including ordnance disposal. The radios aim to provide the Navy with both line-of-sight and beyond line-of-sight communication capabilities for its various missions.
    “Harris’ Falcon radios provide U.S. Department of Defense ground forces with a complete range of tactical communication capabilities to address their missions. Because our radios are software-defined, they are also adaptable to meet emerging requirements and changing mission standards,” Harris RF Communications President Brendan O’Connell said in a statement.
    Falcon 3 is the next generation of radios supporting the U.S. military’s Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) requirements as well as network-centric operations worldwide.
