The AN/VRC-104 is a vehicular transceiver/amplifier that includes the AN/PRC-150(C), a Type-1 high-frequency manpack radio. Harris HF radios are in widespread use by all branches of the DOD and allies around the world, Harris officials say.

Falcon III is the next-generation family of radios supporting the U.S. military's Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) requirements, as well as network-centric operations worldwide.
