The first family of tactical radio products.

With the power of the FALCON II family behind you, anything can be achieved. Our FALCON II
software-based radios address your mission’s most critical communication requirements. Our
FALCON II family delivers the critical information needed to plan and execute your mission on
the digital battlefield.

The software-based design supports more features and capabilities than any radio of its kind.
It also extends the life of the radio over time, allowing new capabilities to be added well into
the future.

With embedded Type 1 encryption, extended frequency range, and advanced data capabilities,
the U.S. Government-nomenclatured members of the FALCON II family support a wide variety
of military tactical operations.

Our FALCON II family of radios deliver data four-times faster than competitors’ products using
our advanced, high-speed modems with automatic voice/data detection and error-free
transmission modes.

Common platform — uncommon performance.

Each member of the FALCON II family shares a common operation, appearance, and common accessories to enable proficient
radio operation with minimal cross training for multiple radio types. What’s more, Harris has engineered the FALCON II family
to interoperate with a variety of other radios, allowing you to fully leverage your current investment.

By designing components that can be shared among the three radios, troubleshooting and repair is greatly simplified. The result:
greater ease of use, enhanced mission performance, and reduced life-cycle costs.

Setting the standard.

The compact and lightweight FALCON II radios deliver performance and capabilities never before available in tactical radios. The
FALCON II system’s data rates are the industry’s highest. Automatic data rate adaption and optimized channel access protocols
ensure that your message gets through, faster and farther.

Increased flexibility, decreased size.

The full-feature FALCON II radios provide extraordinary value by integrating more features into a small, common hardware package.
Because it is software programmable, this system will remain easily upgradeable for years to come.

Worldwide acceptance.
The FALCON II family is known the world over. Many countries have standardized on the FALCON II system.

| AN/PRC-117F(C) |
Harris’ FALCON II AN/PRC-117F(C) is a multiband manpack radio with true multimission
capabilities. It includes an NSA-certified, Type 1 security module that provides the secure voice
and data needs for ground-ground, ground-air, and ground-satellite communications. The
AN/PRC-117F(C) is in wide-spread use by U.S. and allied forces.

This lightweight manpack is a continuous coverage radio with VHF-high, VHF-low and UHF
bands. The AN/PRC-117F(C) complies with SINCGARS, Havequick and UHF TACSAT standards.
The fully programmable platform is software upgradeable with new features and waveforms
to meet emerging mission requirements.

For TACSAT operation, the radio supports single-channel and Demand-Assigned Multiple-
Access (DAMA) modes. Data rates up to 56 kbps are automatically selected on dedicated
TACSAT channels using Harris’ integrated High Performance Waveform (HPW). A 64 kbps
waveform is also included to support high-speed, ground-to-ground communication.

| AN/VRC-103(V)1 |
The AN/VRC-103(V)1 is the 50-watt amplifier and vehicular adapter for the AN/PRC-117F(C).
Key features include: shock mounting for all components; diplexed antenna outputs for
high-gain, band-specific antennas; and DC power filtering for supply noise and voltage
spike suppression.
| AN/PRC-150(C) |
At Harris, we know that secure communications are key to mission success. That’s why our
FALCON II HF/VHF radio was designed to provide the highest levels of security and reliability for
long-range, ground-tactical communications.

Part of the FALCON II family—a software-driven, fully-integrated communications system—

the new AN/PRC-150(C) HF/VHF radio with NSA-certified Type 1 encryption is available in
vehicular, base-station, and manpack configurations. When used in support of multinational
operations, the AN/PRC-150(C) provides secure voice and data communications with forces
using U.S. Type 1 COMSEC and with those who are communicating with Harris FALCON II
radios equipped with Citadel® encryption.

Offering a fully-programmable platform, removable keypad/display unit, automatic link

establishment (ALE) and a complete suite of high-performance voice and data waveforms,
the FALCON II HF radio gets the message through, even under the most challenging
communications and environmental conditions faced by the modern warfighter.

| AN/VRC-104(V)3 |
The AN/VRC-104(V)3 is the HF/VHF vehicular transceiver system using the AN/PRC-150(C). It
provides high output power (150 watts in HF, 60 watts in VHF) for fixed-site and vehicular
installations.

Key features include: built-in speaker; jerk-and-run mounting of the manpack radio; shock-
mounting of all components; separate HF and VHF antenna outputs; and DC power filtering
for supply noise and voltage spike suppression.
 Countries worldwide standardize on FALCON II radios

Many NATO and Partnership for Peace countries have standardized on FALCON II radios —

a move that has become increasingly important as countries modernize their communica-

tions capabilities for interoperability. Our international line of FALCON radios and

accessories provide the necessary level of interoperability.

| RF-5800H |
An advanced HF-SSB/VHF-FM radio that provides long-range secure voice and data tactical
communications. Its extended frequency range (up to 60 MHz) provides VHF capability in
addition to HF capability. The radio’s high-speed data rates (up to 9600 bps), embedded GPS
and advanced waveforms provide improved communications reliability and simplified opera-
tion.

| RF-5800V |
An advanced VHF-FM radio (30 to 108 MHz) that provides reliable tactical communications
through enhanced secure voice and data performance and networking. The radio’s 64 kbps
data rate, embedded GPS, and advanced waveforms provide expanded communications capa-
bilities for the digital battlefield.

| RF-5800V-HH |
The RF-5800V-HH is the handheld companion to the RF-5800V VHF transceiver that extends

■
the outstanding performance of the FALCON II tactical radio family to the squad level.

■
| RF-5800U |
■ An advanced VHF/UHF AM/FM radio (90 to 420 MHz) that provides military and civilian

■
ground-to-air communications and interoperability with Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems.
■
■
| RF-5800M |
■ The RF-5800M is the commercial version of the AN/PRC-117F(C). This VHF/UHF transceiver

■
system provides ground-ground and ground-air communications using Citadel encryption
and Quicklook ECCM waveforms.

| RF-6710W |
The RF-6710W Wireless Message Terminal connects the radio network to a wireless network,
including the internet.

| RF-5710A |
The RF-5710A modem provides high-speed HF data capability for radios that are not equipped
with an internal modem. It provides advanced waveform performance for data applications
such as tactical messaging, email, and high-resolution image transmission.
