27 May 10.

Harris radios are installed in the majority of
M-ATV vehicles deployed to Afghanistan. The AN/VRC-110 is a fully integrated, high-performance multiband vehicular radio system, consisting of an amplifier adapter and two Falcon III(r) AN/PRC-152(C) multiband handheld radios, which serve as handheld transceivers. The AN/VRC-110 enables warfighters to maintain communications in dismount operations by allowing the AN/PRC-152(C) handheld radios to be quickly removed from the vehicle while remaining powered on and connected to the network. The combat-proven AN/PRC-152(C) is the most widely-fielded JTRS-approved handheld radio with more than 100,000 units deployed.

The company will also develop a small fixed terminal, a large fixed radome, an enhanced interactive electronic technical manual and training simulation hardware under different contract options. The advanced satellite terminals will support high-priority military communications and missile defence systems that enable the warfighter to communicate back to the main base or command, with the ability to access remote resources. The delivery of satellite terminals is part of the US Army’s $600m modernisation of enterprise terminals (MET) programme. Harris has received MET orders worth up to $153m sinc
