ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 28 (UPI) -- Harris Corp. will supply tactical communication systems and Falcon II and Falcon III radios under a contract to an unidentified country in the Middle East.

The C3 system will provide users with integrated tactical voice and data communications.

Falcon III RF-7800S Secure Personal Radios, Falcon III RF-7800W High-Capacity Line-of-Sight Radios and the RF-5800M multi-band hand-held radios are part of the deal, Harris said.

"This extensive portfolio of software-defined radios provides built-in interoperability and information security, offering a platform for expandability and systems integration."
