AN/PRC-117F(C) Multiband Radio Introduction
For missions requiring reliable, interoperable communications, Harris has developed the FALCON® II AN/PRC-117F(C), the most advanced multiband, multimode manpack radio in the world… period. The AN/PRC-117F(C) integrates the capabilities of several distinct radios into one: VHF-FM for combat net radio; VHF-AM for public safety and ground-toair; UHF-AM for military ground-to-air and UHF TACSAT communications. This radio also utilizes the latest technology to embed many advanced features, such as SINCGARS, HAVEQUICK, as well as Type I encryption. With integrated crypto functions, including black-key management and Crypto Ignition Key (CIK), the AN/PRC-117F(C) is a complete communications package allowing interoperability with all military services in secure and non-secure communications. And being a software defined radio helps make the FALCON II radios future proof. As new technology and waveforms are developed, you can upgrade your FALCON II systems to be compatible with future radios such as the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) radios…and they will remain compatible with your radios currently in the field. The AN/PRC-117F(C) manpack can be packaged for vehicular, transit case, or base station applications and we offer a number of accessories and antennas to complete your system. This Applications Handbook defines the AN/PRC-117F(C) radios and their components, and also helps with your selection of antennas and accessories.

AN/PRC-117F(C) Multiband Radio Introduction
For missions requiring reliable, interoperable communications, Harris has developed the FALCON® II AN/PRC-117F(C), the most advanced multiband, multimode manpack radio in the world… period. The AN/PRC-117F(C) integrates the capabilities of several distinct radios into one: VHF-FM for combat net radio; VHF-AM for public safety and ground-toair; UHF-AM for military ground-to-air and UHF TACSAT communications. This radio also utilizes the latest technology to embed many advanced features, such as SINCGARS, HAVEQUICK, as well as Type I encryption. With integrated crypto functions, including black-key management and Crypto Ignition Key (CIK), the AN/PRC-117F(C) is a complete communications package allowing interoperability with all military services in secure and non-secure communications. And being a software defined radio helps make the FALCON II radios future proof. As new technology and waveforms are developed, you can upgrade your FALCON II systems to be compatible with future radios such as the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) radios…and they will remain compatible with your radios currently in the field. The AN/PRC-117F(C) manpack can be packaged for vehicular, transit case, or base station applications and we offer a number of accessories and antennas to complete your system. This Applications Handbook defines the AN/PRC-117F(C) radios and their components, and also helps with your selection of antennas and accessories.
