NSA Type 1 Certification for FALCON III Harris has received NSA Type 1 certification for the FALCON III AN/PRC-117G Multiband Networking Manpack Radio to run the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) waveform. MUOS is the next-generation DoD military communications system for delivering mobile satellite connectivity through tactical radios.
Harris has delivered more than 30,000 MUOS-capable AN/PRC-117G tactical radios, which will be able to deliver this enhanced capability to warfighters with a software upgrade, a diplexer and an antenna kit. The innovative and rapidly-deployable solution is significantly more cost- and time-efficient than procuring new radios: the company has already successfully conducted satellite transmissions using the MUOS waveform.
