The Falcon III® Multi-channel Manpack is a modular two-channel manpack radio
designed to exceed the HMS Manpack program requirements, and covers the full
30-2500 MHz frequency range in a form factor 30% smaller than similar products.
Each channel is capable of running a wide variety of Software Communications
Architecture (SCA) narrowband and wideband waveforms – including the same
waveform on both channels. Each channel can be used to transmit and receive
simultaneously, using different frequency bands and/or waveforms. Embedded routing
and cross-banding provide the ability to connect different nets and sub-nets for both
voice and data.
A defining feature of the Multi-channel Manpack is that no Power Amplifier (PA)
change-outs or additions are required to switch between waveforms or to run Mobile
User Objective System (MUOS)*. Fully integrated MUOS-capable PAs eliminate logistical
complexity, cost, and further reduce size and weight.
Additionally, a third slot accommodates an optional module that adds a variety of
advanced capabilities. These embedded capabilities include Intelligence Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (ISR) receiver, additional Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) capabilities
and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT). A standard interface is defined to provide vendors with
the ability to create future enhancements on their own.
The Multi-channel Manpack is able to store multiple mission fill files, providing maximum
mission flexibility. Situational awareness is enhanced through an embedded SAASM
GPS receiver that displays local position and provides automatic position reporting. Use
of a single, standard lithium ion battery further reduces the weight of the radio while
maintaining peak transmission power of up to 20 watts.
The Multi-channel Manpack is Software Communications Architecture certified,
compatible with JTRS Enterprise Network Manager (JENM) software, and provides full
capability for network planning and monitoring. It is also compatible with the Harris
AN/VRC-114 and RF-7800M-V series of Vehicular Amplifier Adapters utilized with the
AN/PRC-117G.
