Introduction
The Harris Falcon III series of radio products builds upon the capability of the combat-proven Falcon II radio family . Designed for the Joint Tactical Radio Systems (JTRS) Version 2 .2 Software Communications Architecture (SCA), Falcon III radios provide a new level of waveform flexibility . Able to port in any SCAstandard waveform from the JTRS library, Falcon III radios are ideal for situations requiring the SCA 2 .2 certified architecture . Several frequencyhopping ECCM waveforms are provided for the Falcon III transceivers . Falcon III radio products contain many times the processing power of other multiband radios, yet maintain interoperability with the Falcon II family of radios . Though the radio architecture has changed, the AN/PRC-152(C) features the man-machine interface of the AN/PRC-117F(C) multiband manpack transceiver, its manpack radio counterpart . To complement the AN/PRC-152(C)s portability, high-power vehicular amplifiers are available with jerkand-run capabilities for quickdismount operations . The AN/PRC-152(C) multiband handheld radio is a powerful, lightweight, Type-1 secure voice and data radio that combines several radios into one:
n Low-band VHF capabilities for SINCGARS combat net radio n High-band VHF capabilities for public safety and ground-
Aggressive power management techniques within the AN/PRC-152(C) provide many hours of operation when powered from a single batteryup to 8 hours on one charge . This high-capacity, rechargeable lithium ion battery features a quick-twist mount for easy connect and disconnect . With a JTRS-approved architecture and SCA-certified operating environment, the AN/PRC-152(C) provides the optimal transition to JTRS technology . The AN/PRC-152(C) is the multiband, multimission tactical radio enabling todays warfighter to take on tomorrows missions .
to-air applications
n UHF capabilities for military ground-to-air communications n UHF tactical satellite communications
Certified by the National Security Agency (NSA) for secure communications up to the TOP SECRET level, the AN/PRC-152(C) includes the Sierra II encryption module .

The AN/VRC-110 is a series of fully integrated, high-performance dual multiband vehicular radio systems that include the AN/PRC-152(C) SCA-based handheld radio, power amplifier, and integrated handheld battery charger . AN/VRC-110 systems provide the ideal combination of long-range mounted power with the flexibility for on-the-fly dismounted applications . For increased communications reliability, the AN/VRC-110 provides 50 watts in the 30 to 90 MHz frequency range under demanding VSWR conditions . Multiple power output options are available in the 90 to 512 MHz band . Each amplifier features separate VHF and UHF antenna ports with automatic port switching, providing the AN/VRC-110 with true multimission capability . The operator only needs to select the required net on the radio to switch between ground communications, ground-to-air, or SATCOM communications . The first antenna port provides a 50-watt output from 30 to 90 MHz . The second antenna port provides a 20 watt output from 90 to 512 MHz, with 50 watts in the SATCOM bands . Other features provided by the AN/VRC-110 include: an integrated handheld battery charger (battery remains attached to the radio) with simultaneous operation and charging, quick disconnect (the handheld can remain powered on while being removed from vehicle system), VIC-1 and VIC-3 interface, and heatsinking for an extended-use duty cycle . The AN/VRC-110 interfaces to the standard MT-6352 SINCGARS install kit .

MULTIBAND TRIMLINE VEHICULAR ADAPTER (TVA)

The Falcon III RF-300M-TV is a multiband, low-profile, 50-watt Trimline Vehicular Amplifier (TVA) based on the advanced system architecture of the AN/VRC-110 VAA . The TVA is designed for use with Falcon III Type-1 handheld radios . Its spacesaving, low-profile design allows for installation in vehicles that lack the space needed for typical power amplifiers, and can create room in vehicles that have large amplifiers installed . The TVA uses the same ancillary devices and cables as the AN/VRC-110 . The single channel TVA provides 50 watts from 30 to 90 MHz, 20 watts from 90 to 512 MHz, and 50 watts in SATCOM bands . Featuring separate VHF, UHF, and SATCOM ports combined with automatic port switching, the TVA provides true multimission capability . The operator can switch between ground, ground-to-air, and SATCOM simply by selecting the desired preset on the radio . Multiple mounting options are available . The TVA can be hard mounted or placed in a MT-6352 SINCGARS shock mount (mount not included) . The handheld radio is placed In the Handheld Remote Control Unit (HHRCU) and can be mounted up to 15 feet from the amplifier .

ANDVT Advanced Narrowband Digital Voice Terminal . A COMSEC mode used in 5 kHz Narrowband SATCOM and DAMA . Compatible with the KY-99, KY-99A, and KY-100 COMSEC encryption devices . APCO The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International (APCO) is the worlds largest organization dedicated to public safety telecommunications . APCO-25 Project 25 (P25) or APCO-25 refer to a suite of standards for digital radio communications for use by federal, state/province and local public safety agencies in North America to enable them to communicate with other agencies and mutual aid response teams in emergencies . In this regard, P25 fills the same role as the European Tetra protocol, although not interoperable with it . ARQ Automatic Repeat-reQuest, an error control method for data transmission which makes use of acknowledgments and timeouts to achieve reliable data transmission . An acknowledgment is a message sent by the receiver to the transmitter to indicate that it has correctly received a data frame . Usually, when the transmitter does not receive the acknowledgment before the timeout occurs (i .e . within a reasonable amount of time after sending the data frame), it retransmits the frame until it is either correctly received or the error persists beyond a predetermined number of retransmissions . COMSEC Communications Security . CTCSS or CDCSS Continuous Tone or Continuous Digital Coded Squelch System . Sub-audible tones used to prevent or deny access into LMR repeaters and handheld radios (i .e ., FRS radios) . DS-101, DS-102 Protocols used for loading encryption keys into radio equipment from Data Transfer Devices (DTDs). ECCM Electronic Counter/Counter Measures . Refers to frequency hopping capabilities (i .e ., SINCGARS and Havequick I/II) . ECCM describes a variety of practices which attempt to reduce or eliminate the effect of Electronic countermeasures (ECM) on electronic sensors aboard vehicles, ships and aircraft and weapons such as missiles . ECCM is also known as Electronic Protective Measures (EPM), chiefly in Europe . In practice, EPM often means resistance to jamming .

Time of day synchronization clock used by SINCGARS radio systems . ICOM SINCGARS fill mode from the DTD . HALF DUPLEX Refers to presets that use different frequencies for transmit and receive (i .e ., SATCOM) . HAVEQUICK A frequency hopping mode used by the US Air Force in the UHF range . HPW High-Performance Waveform . Satellite waveform that can be used on both wideband and narrowband UHF satellites . HPW offers high speed, reliable, error-free delivery of data . HUB Hold Up Battery . It is recommended to replace the HUB annually . HUB voltage level can be tested by conducting a BIT .
