The Falcon III radios provide high-bandwidth communications for streaming video, simultaneous voice and data feeds, and other situational awareness capabilities, in a small, lightweight design.
"With the AN/PRC-117G, Marines on the move and their field commanders will have access to critical, real-time information to support the types of contingency operations they anticipate in the future," said Brendan O'Connell, president, Tactical Communications, Harris Communication Systems. "This award is another step in helping the Marine Corps expand the application of wideband tactical networking." The AN/PRC-117G radio is a single channel voice and data radio that is capable of operating in a frequency range of 30 Megahertz to 2 Gigahertz. Operational configurations include manpack, vehicular-mounted, or base-station operations. The primary AN/PRC-117G waveform is the ANW2, which is a Harris Corporation proprietary waveform. |
