Harris Corp. has been awarded a $13 million contract to supply the Air National Guard with vehicular tactical and public safety radio systems.

Each system includes multiple Falcon III AN/PRC-117G Multiband Networking Manpack radios, AN/PRC-150 High-Frequency Manpack radios, and Unity XG-100M Full-Spectrum Multiband Mobile radios, said a Harris news release. The radios are networked with the Harris RF-7800I Advanced Vehicular Intercom System and integrated into the ANG’s High Mobility Multi-Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV).
