The FALCON Series:

Long-range communications
from the leader in HF radio

Harris

At Harris, we’re proud to be one of the leading forces
in the development of advanced HF systems for military
tactical situations. After all, we pioneered the error-free
transmission of data and images over HF. We were one
of the first companies to simplify HF operation by
offering Automatic Link Establishment (ALE). Harris is
constantly developing new technology to meet the
needs of our customers for a full spectrum of rugged,
reliable radio communications equipment.

In recent years, more and more customers have
expressed renewed interest in HF communications
by purchasing FALCON Series systems from Harris.
HF technology offers reliable, cost-effective, point-to­point, long-distance communication without depending
on vulnerable system infrastructure or access to
satellites. The FALCON Series of HF equipment can be
configured for a wide variety of military applications
including manportable, vehicular, base station and
transit case configurations. These versatile, state-of-the­art systems quickly transmit voice, data, images and fax,
overcoming the range limitations of line-of-sight
communications.

We offer more to our customers than advanced
technology. We were one of the first radio
communications suppliers to gain ISO 9001
certification. And our outstanding commitment to
customer satisfaction continues to earn recognition
and awards from appreciative clients around the world.

When you add it all up, it comes down to this:
whether you need a single digital transceiver like the
RF-5200, or a complete, nationwide communications
system, you can count on Harris for outstanding
technology, service and support. That’s why we’ve been
a worldwide technology leader in our industry for more
than 40 years.

The HF

advantage

Superior quality

and customer service

The FALCON Series systems are used extensively in
numerous military conflicts and peace keeping missions.
The success of our tactical communications equipment
in Operation Desert Storm is a matter of record. In fact,
Harris received a Certificate of Appreciation from the US
Army Information Systems Command along with an
award for Contractor Excellence in recognition of the
outstanding performance of our systems and our service
support network.

In fast-moving tactical situations you need special tools
to communicate. That’s why military forces around the
world use the FALCON HF systems from Harris. These
rugged digital radio systems let you send and receive
voice and data from virtually anywhere.

The RF-5000 Series HF systems, which are based on the
RF-5022R/T(E) transceiver, facilitate high performance
vehicular, transportable and base station applications.

The RF-5200 systems are based on the AN/PRC-138
Manpack which is ideal for “jerk-and-run”
communications. Conversion from a high-power
system to a manportable unit is as simple as the
addition of batteries and a backpack.

These highly mobile radio systems also include high­speed internal modems and encryption, eliminating
the need to haul hard-to-carry peripherals.

If you’re looking for a rugged, mobile communications
system that’s easy to use, ask for the remarkable
FALCON Series today. Whether you’re on the road or on
foot, you can count on it to get the message through.
