Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company, has received an order valued at $78 million to provide additional Falcon II AN/VRC-104 high-frequency tactical radio systems for use in U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Mine Resistant Ambush Protected All-Terrain Vehicles (M-ATVs). This order was placed by the U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command on behalf of the DoD's Joint MRAP program. "Harris continues to provide the most reliable and secure beyond line-of-sight radio technology to this critically important program," said Steve Marschilok, president, Department of Defense business, Harris RF Communications. "Our radios deliver life-saving communication capabilities in the most dangerous of missions for all types of MRAP vehicles. We are providing ongoing support for this program with our high-performance tactical radios and unmatched customer service." The AN/VRC-104 is a vehicular transceiver/amplifier that includes the AN/PRC-150, a Type-1 high-frequency manpack radio. Harris HF radios are in widespread use by all branches of the U.S. Department of Defense and allies around the world.
