The U.S. Marine Corps has awarded L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) a competitive 10-year, $750 million single-award IDIQ contract for multi-channel handheld and vehicular radio systems.
The L3Harris Falcon IV® family of manpack and handheld radios selected by the USMC have been broadly adopted by the U.S. Army, U.S. Special Operations Command, U.S. Air Force and a growing number of key allies to provide secure, resilient and interoperable communications capabilities.
The AN/PRC-163 is the most advanced hand radio available in the world today. Providing a wide range of secure communications waveforms – while simultaneously integrating voice and data communications, network routing, and gateway functions – the radios offer true resilience against peer adversary threats, which is critical to achieving the Marine Corps’ vision for Force Design 2030 and enabling Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2). In addition, the flexible software-defined architecture enables Marines to quickly add new waveforms and enhanced capabilities to address evolving requirements.
Forecasts by Communication Type (Air-based, Ship-based, Air-Ground-based, Underwater-based, Ground-based), by System (Military SATCOM Systems, Military Radar Systems, Military Radio Systems, Military Intercom Network Systems, Military Communication Management Systems), by Application (Command and Control, Situational Awareness, Routine Operations) AND Regional and Leading National Market Analysis PLUS Analysis of Leading Companies AND COVID-19 Recovery Scenarios
