Harris Corporation Receives National Security Agency Certification for Falcon III Multiband Manpack Radio

 First Wideband Networking Radio to Receive NSA-Type 1 Certification

Harris Corporation has received certification from the National Security Agency (NSA) for its Falcon® III multiband, multimission manpack radio. The Falcon III AN/PRC-117G(C) is the first wideband networking radio to utilize the Software Communication Architecture (SCA) and receive NSA Type-1 certification for the protection of voice and data traffic up through the TOP SECRET level. First deliveries will be made immediately.

The Falcon III AN/PRC-117G(C) is a manpack companion radio to the JTRS-approved Falcon III AN/PRC-152(C) multiband handheld and AN/VRC-110 vehicular radios. The Falcon III family of software-defined tactical communication equipment is designed to advance the U.S. military's vision of network-centric warfare.

Background on the Falcon III AN/PRC-117G(C)
The Falcon III AN/PRC-117G(C) was specifically designed to host advanced government waveforms. The radio currently incorporates the Harris Advanced Networking Wideband Waveform (ANW2) for mobile ad-hoc networking. The ANW2 networking waveform provides secure IP data to the tactical Internet at on-air rates up to 10 Megabits per second (Mbps). This high data rate-joined with mobile ad-hoc networking, automated network establishment and maintenance, and integrated security-provides a powerful networking solution. In addition, the AN/PRC-117G(C) and its software-defined architecture offers interoperability with currently fielded radios, incorporating SINCGARS, Havequick II, and the High Performance Waveform (HPW), as well as MIL-STD-181B Tactical Satellite (TACSAT) capability.

The AN/PRC-117G(C) also utilizes the Harris Sierra II software-programmable encryption module, a reprogrammable cryptographic device that can be embedded in a variety of voice and data products for protection of information up to the TOP SECRET level. Sierra™ II is the cryptographic engine for several U.S. Type-1 radios, including the AN/PRC-152(C) multiband handheld radio.

Falcon III radios offer a 30 MHz to 2 GHz frequency range, an SCA-operating environment, significant processing power, and the ability to accommodate new waveforms for networking, TACSAT, commercial L-Band satellite, and public safety interoperability.

Quintron
New VoIP Operator Stations
Quintron Systems announces two new operator stations for its DICES VoIP C2 interoperable voice system. These stations provide simultaneous access to multiple audio channels, including conference nets, phone, radio and public address circuits, via a user-friendly touch screen LCD interface. In addition, key-based priority codes can be assigned to facilitate multi-level secure voice access and control. 

The new stations offer innovative packaging options, including a small footprint desktop model (10”x6.5”) and a “thin client” design that provides a separate station enclosure (6”x6”x2”) that can be mounted remotely from a desktop touch screen LCD display unit.

Both of these stations provide all the many features inherent in DICES VoIP design: fanless SBC with solid-state hard drive for reliable and quiet performance, USB headset connections with full PTT operation, full VGA TFT LCD displays for excellent usability, and in-line AC power supply units for ease of connection. Performance and voice quality of these VoIP stations rival traditional designs, but at a much lower price point and with additional connection options using standard Ethernet networks (cabled and wireless). Lower power and higher long-term reliability support reduced lifecycle costs as well.

Visit our web site at www.quintron.com for more details on all the DICES product lines, or call for sales support at 805-928-4343.

Ultra Electronics - DNE Technologies
Ultra-DNE's PacketAssure Service Delivery Manager Supports Transition Networks
Ultra-DNE's Packet Assure Service Delivery Manager provides the missing pieces in transition networks: the ability to field COTS equipment with tactical enhancements. PacketAssure offers the benefits of commercial solutions when and where it makes sense. Whether the application is legacy, video, or voice, or your transport is WiMax, wireless, or IP Modem, Ultra-DNE's PacketAssure provides assured services when and where you need them.

 
The PacketAssure Service Delivery Manager brings time-division multiplexing reliability to a network centric architecture. It brings together both IP-based networks and serial-based legacy networks into the new commercial-based transport architectures. 

Key offerings of the PacketAssure Service Delivery Manager:

  • Converts serial traffic into packets for transport across an IP network.
  • Polices converged traffic segments to assure that the high priority traffic gets through to its destination.
  • Allows low priority traffic to make use of additional bandwidth availability when higher priority traffic doesn’t need the bandwidth
  • Allows multiple traffic streams (both IPv4 and IPv6) to ride the same transport without the complexity or lost throughput of VPN or additional HAIPE devices.
  • Minimizes the jitter across a network resulting in much higher voice quality (secure and non-secure) and higher secure call completion rates.
  • Converts an aggregated IP uplink into a serial format for processing by NSA-approved type 1 Transec devices and back to Ethernet for transmission across an IP transport.

The PacketAssure Service Delivery Manager keeps voice sounding like voice, video looking like video and synchronous data over IP synchronized, regardless of what other users are doing on the network.
