The U.S. Army has awarded L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) full-rate Manpack and Leader radio production orders under the Handheld, Manpack & Small Form Fit (HMS) program totaling nearly $300 million.Â

These orders continue the proliferation of critical resilient communication solutions for U.S. soldiers and provide seamless interoperability from the tactical edge to the aerial tier in all operational environments, regardless of adversarial electronic warfare attacks.

“Effective, resilient communication dictates the operations tempo, and our solutions support the required comms-on-the-move to enable Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control,” said Sam Mehta, President, Communication Systems, L3Harris. “Our battle-proven resilient communications systems deliver the latest capabilities to keep pace with the emerging threats on the modern battlefield, providing commanders greater flexibility.”

The modern cryptographic compliant L3Harris AN/PRC-158 and AN/PRC-163 radios can switch between Secure But Unclassified – Encrypted (SBU-E) and high-assurance levels of encryption, enabling interoperability with coalition partners. This capability meets the latest NSA encryption and decryption standards for Communications Security and Transmission Security.
