MELBOURNE, Fla., Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Harris Corp.'s Falcon II tactical radios have been ordered by an unidentified Middle Eastern government as part of a communications modernization program.
The value of the order is $25 million, the company said.
"Harris offers the world's most advanced digital HF radio family for delivering highly reliable and secure communications for missions that require beyond-line-of-sight capabilities,'' said Brendan O'Connell, president, International Business, Harris RF Communications.
