The radios are expected to provide advanced voice and data capabilities to soldiers, while establishing crucial communication links for operating in beyond line-of-sight and line-of-sight environments.
Harris RF Communications international business president Brendan O’Connell said: "Harris radios deliver highly reliable and secure communications for critical missions on the battlefield.
"Both the RF-7800H and the RF-7850M radio systems are crucial for delivering secure, up-to-the-minute situational awareness and effective command and control.”
Weighing less than 4kg, the RF-7800H is a wideband HF tactical radio designed to help soldiers transmit video clips, images, maps and other large data files at ten times the data rates compared with existing HF radios in obstructed line-of-sight mission environments, including mountains and urban terrain.
