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 System’s
(JTRS) Version 2.2 Software Communications Archi-
tecture (SCA), Falcon III radios provide a new level
of waveform flexibility. Able to port in any SCA-
standard waveform from the JTRS library, Falcon
III radios are ideal for situations requiring the
SCA 2.2 certified architecture. Several frequency-
hopping ECCM waveforms are provided for the
Falcon III transceivers.
Falcon III radio products contain many times
the processing power of other multi-
band radios, yet maintain interoper-
ability 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) multi-
band manpack transceiver,
its manpack radio counter-
part. To complement the
AN/PRC-152(C)’s portability,
high-power vehicular ampli-
fiers are available with “jerk-
and-run” capabilities for quick-
dismount operations. Aggressive power management techniques within
the AN/PRC-152(C) provide many hours of operation

on tomorrow’s missions.
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.
Scaled for power-conscious handheld use, Sierra II was
selected as the cryptographic architecture standard under
the JTRS Ground Mobile Radio (GMR) program.

56 kbits/sec data. Both Havequick II and VHF/UHF AM and FM
waveforms are ported versions of the JTRS library waveforms,
validating the AN/PRC-152’s JTRS architecture.
The SCA-certified architecture of the AN/PRC-152 provides
over 20 times the processing power of currently fielded Type-1
handhelds, representing state-of-the-art radio technology to
ensure software upgradability well into the future. The radio
is able to store multiple fill files in memory, extending the
time between reconfigurations. A menu-driven, man-machine
interface makes operation and reconfiguration quick and easy.
The AN/PRC-152’s digital design is fully programmable for
software-based upgrades.

Type-1 Multiband Handheld With Embedded GPS Receiver
The AN/PRC-152(V)2(C) includes all the features of the

AN/PRC-152(V)1(C) and incorporates a 12-channel, C/A code
GPS receiver embedded into the handheld transceiver. The
GPS receiver is fully integrated with the radio architecture
and can be used to supply Time-of-Day (TOD) synchroniza-
tion for ECCM waveforms, local position information on the
radio display, and automatic position reporting for situational
awareness on the battlefield. The radio front panel displays
the position, altitude, and speed received by the GPS module.
Position can be displayed in grid format (MGRS) or latitude
and longitude. Accurate time derived from the GPS system is
also displayed. A small GPS antenna suitable for
portable use is included with the AN/PRC-152(V)2(C). Other
GPS antennas are available for order separately.

Based on the same components as the AN/VRC-110, the
RF-300M-HV Single Systems combine the interoperability
and upgradeability of the AN/PRC-152 with a high power
vehicular amplifier for range extension and increased
communication reliability. The vehicle amplifier provides 50
watts from 30 to 90 MHz and 20 watts from 80 to 512 MHz,
with up to 50 watts in the SATCOM bands.
Multiple mounting options are available. Systems with the

Shock Mount Interface Assembly (SIM) are designed to fit
into the standard dual-width SINCGARS MT-6352 mount,
allowing drop-in replacement of legacy systems. Systems
with the Vehicle Interface Mount (VIM) allow for independent
installation, and include a ruggedized shock tray and the
necessary audio and power interfaces.
Included in each configuration:

n AN/PRC-152(V)1(C) radio (selected systems only)
