Equipped with the Harris Adaptive Networking Wideband Waveform (ANW2), the two radios will offer secure wideband combat net radio, tactical satellite and ground-to-air communications to the Polish armed forces.

Specifically, the ANW2 will allow military forces to use a range of advanced battle management applications, including collaborative chat, streaming video and intelligence collection.

Harris RF Communications international business president Brendan O’Connell said the Falcon III radios would help Polish military personnel establish seamless communications with US and Nato forces during joint combat missions.

"Our radios unite the forces by making it easier to exchange voice, data and situational awareness, even while on the move,” O’Connell said.
