Harris Corp. introduces Falcon III next-generation VHF tactical radio

The Harris Corp. RF communications segment in Rochester, N.Y., is introducing the RF-7800V-HH Falcon III next-generation VHF handheld tactical radio for the networked battlefield. The RF-7800V-HH is equipped with direct plug-and-play USB and tactical Ethernet inputs for the fast and easy transfer of mission information or other stored data. In addition, the radio supports simultaneous voice and data transfer to allow users to talk while sending videos, images, or situational-awareness data. Through the combination of an embedded GPS receiver and a TDMA waveform, the RF-7800V-HH enables communication of situational-awareness information to battlefield management systems (BMS). With support for foot soldiers and vehicles, the RF-7800V-HH enables commanders to monitor individual radios on a BMS interface with no interruption of voice or situational-awareness data.
