Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS) has received certification from the National Security Agency (NSA) for the Harris RF-310M-HH, the world's first tactical radio to use new encryption technology designed to simplify the enabling of communications interoperability within multinational coalitions — Harris and NSA collaborated on the new technology, which is based on a set of commercial algorithms and keying techniques defined as "Suite B."

The Harris RF-310M-HH is a multiband, multi-mission, software-defined Suite B radio certified to transmit voice and data up to the U.S. SECRET level. The objective of the Harris/NSA joint project is to make it easier for U.S. forces and coalition partners to communicate on the battlefield, resulting in improved coordination, easier mission planning and reduced instances of friendly fire. These radios will be commercially available to coalition partners with limited restrictions and will enable secure communications with U.S. troops using other equipment such as the JTRS-approved Falcon III(R) AN/PRC-152(C) handheld and AN/PRC-117G manpack radios. The RF-310M-HH has also been submitted to NATO's Military Committee Communications and Information Systems Security and Evaluation Agency for NATO SECRET traffic certification.
