An undisclosed nation in Asia has selected Harris Corporation as the prime systems integrator to modernize and upgrade its military communications network, extending the company’s role as the country’s incumbent radio provider. Harris will replace existing disparate systems and integrate both military and commercial products and software into a turnkey solution. This integrated network will include a multi-service common operating picture, strategic satellite communications, IT modernization and Harris Falcon 3 tactical radios.

The Falcon 3 radios will provide secure voice and data communications and friendly force tracking at the tactical level. Harris’ hC2 Software Suite battle management system will improve command and control and create a common operating picture shared across services and echelons — providing enhanced situational awareness across the land, sea and air domains, the company stated.
