USSOCOM also has awarded the company a NGTC contract to deliver multichannel <a href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harris.com%2Fpress-releases%2F2017%2F06%2Fus-special-operations-command-awards-harris-corporation-255-million-idiq&#038;esheet=52128637&#038;newsitemid=20191121005493&#038;lan=en-US&#038;anchor=Next-Generation+Manpack+radios&#038;index=1&#038;md5=a27d2e685c2d241839459bce5e8734a4\">Next-Generation Manpack radios<\/a>. The NGTC handheld and manpack radios are the backbone of the complete ecosystem of SOF-focused solutions that L3Harris is providing to USSOCOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AN\/PRC-163 is a powerful multi-channel, software-defined radio system that enables advanced tactical communications and meets USSOCOM\u2019s rigorous requirements for a small, two-channel, multiband, multifunction and multi-mission tactical radio. The AN\/PRC-163\u2019s familiar, yet enhanced interface is easy-to-use, and the flexible software-defined architecture enables users to quickly add new waveforms and capabilities, while mission modules allow the addition of tailored applications for specific missions like receiving ISR full-motion video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Falcon IV NGTC program radios from L3Harris are integrated network systems that can simultaneously communicate over multiple channels and crossband between those channels. They are capable of satellite communications, VHF\/UHF\/L\/S-band and multiple mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) waveforms including ANW2 and TSM-X\u2122.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cL3Harris has invested heavily in our Falcon IV multi-channel software defined radios and is delivering advanced technology with game-changing capabilities to our USSOCOM customer,\u201d said Dana Mehnert, President, Communication Systems, L3Harris. &#8220;This full-rate production order is a major milestone in our contract with USSOCOM to provide solutions
