The U.S. Army has awarded L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX)
full-rate Manpack and Leader radio production orders under the
Handheld, Manpack & Small Form Fit (HMS) program totaling
nearly $300 million.
These orders continue the proliferation of critical resilient
communication solutions for U.S. soldiers and provide seamless
interoperability from the tactical edge to the aerial tier in all
operational environments, regardless of adversarial electronic
warfare attacks.
“Effective, resilient communication dictates the operations
tempo, and our solutions support the required comms-on-the-move to
enable Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control,” said Sam
Mehta, President, Communication Systems, L3Harris. “Our
battle-proven resilient communications systems deliver the latest
capabilities to keep pace with the emerging threats on the modern
battlefield, providing commanders greater flexibility.”
The modern cryptographic compliant L3Harris AN/PRC-158 and
AN/PRC-163 radios can switch between Secure But Unclassified –
Encrypted (SBU-E) and high-assurance levels of encryption, enabling
interoperability with coalition partners. This capability meets the
latest NSA encryption and decryption standards for Communications
Security and Transmission Security.
This award follows similar production orders from 2023 totaling
more than $247 million under the same IDIQs. The Army also selected
L3Harris to deliver Mobile User Objective System-capable
AN/PRC-158s for the service’s MQ-1C Gray Eagle unmanned aircraft
systems and the CH-47 Chinook rotary-wing fleet as part of the
Air-to-Ground Networking Radio program.
