Highlights:
- Warfighters can share voice, data and
situational awareness with battalion and brigade levels
- Two-channel radio provides WNW, SRW and
SINCGARS waveforms
- Order reinforces Harris’ position as
leading provider of tactical radios to the DoD
The U.S. Army has placed an initial order of approximately $10
million for Harris Corporation’s (NYSE:HRS) Falcon III® AN/VRC-118
Mid-tier Networking Vehicular Radio (MNVR) after receiving a
Milestone C decision and authorization for a limited rate
production of the radios.
The two-channel Harris MNVR solution is based on the company’s
combat-proven Falcon III® tactical wideband networking technology
and uses the Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) and Soldier Radio
Waveform (SRW). It enables warfighters to share voice, data and
video and also operates as a node in a mobile network — so
information can be transmitted from one MNVR system to another
until it reaches its destination. The Army has deemed the radio
operationally effective and stated that it enhances solider
effectiveness. The radios will be used to field the 1st and 3rd
Brigades of the 82nd Airborne Division as part of Capability Set
17.
"MNVR has proven that it provides the Army a robust capability
between battalion and above and company and below to allow
continued brigade operations in satellite denied environments,”
said Brendan O’Connell, president, Harris Tactical Communications.
"The MNVR supports the warfighters’ mission and exceeds system
reliability, operational availability and maintainability
requirements.”
