Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) , an international communications and information technology company, has been awarded a $15 million contract to supply the Polish Ministry of National Defense with tactical communications equipment and accessories.
Harris will provide Falcon II(R) RF-5800H and RF-5800M manpack radios, vehicular installations, accessories and spare parts to the Combat Net Radio program of the Polish Armed Forces. The contract from the Ministry of National Defense was awarded through Military Communications Works (MCW) No 2 (Wojskowe Zaklady Lacznosci Nr 2), located in Czernica, Poland. "The multi-year partnership between Harris Corporation and MCW will lead to greater efficiency of Polish C2 systems," said Mr. Jerzy Surma, president of MCW No. 2.
"Through this contract, Harris will continue the standardization of the RF-5800H and RF-5800M radios in the Polish military," said Ed Lockwood, vice president of sales, International Government Systems, Harris RF Communications. "Our radios will allow Polish peacekeepers to use state-of-the-art tactical communications systems to complete their missions in deployed areas."
The Harris Falcon II RF-5800H is the most advanced high frequency (HF) radio in the world. The radio features Automatic Link Establishment (3G-ALE) data rates up to 9600 bps with advanced error-free protocols, an embedded GPS receiver, MELP (Mixed-Excitation Linear Predictive) digital voice, Citadel encryption, digital ECCM (Electromagnetic Counter-Counter Measure) techniques, and a built-in Internet Protocol (IP) interface. The radio also has an extended range that provides access to low-band VHF. The built-in multi-waveform modem and 600/2400 bps vocoders provide high data throughput and secure digital voice over the most challenging HF channels.
The Falcon II RF-5800M transceivers are software-programmable digital radios supporting continuous VHF/UHF operation across the 30 to 512 Mhz bandwidth. Each transceiver has numerous ECCM modes available to defeat enemy-jamming systems in a single compact and lightweight package. The Harris RF-5800M meets military and civilian ground-to-air and ground-to-ground requirements, and includes Harris Quicklook 1A, which allows for compatible operations with other Harris ECCM radios.
Harris RF Communications is a leading supplier of secure voice and data communications products, systems, and networks to military, government, and commercial organizations worldwide.
