Weighing less than 600g, the Falcon III RF-7800S is a lightweight, secure soldier radio platform designed to provide full-duplex voice, multiple talk-group capabilities, as well as data and situational awareness communication to dismounted soldiers in frequency ranges from 350MHz to 450MHz.

Primarily used for wideband mobile ad-hoc networking, the RF-7800M helps commanders make more informed decisions and deploy forces quickly by enabling the transmission of secure voice and high-speed networked data services between squad-level forces and up-echelon command management platforms, from 30MHz to 2GHz.

Harris did not disclose the number of radios ordered and their delivery schedule.
