Peru buys radios for Super Seasprite helicopters

The Peruvian navy is buying Rockwell Collins radios for its SH-2G Super Seasprite helicopters.

The Talon radios "will provide secure voice and data communication capabilities to support the various missions of the SH-2G platform including surface and sub-surface maritime, blue water and littoral surveillance, and search and rescue operations," a Rockwell Collins news release said.

"The Talon radio is becoming the preferred choice for armed forces looking to enable secure air-to-ground communications in Latin America, the same way it has been used around the globe," said Alan Prowse, a Rockwell Collins vice president. "The proven performance of this radio in the maritime environment will definitely enhance mission success for the Peruvian Navy."
