...Falcon Wideband Team Radio, the first true, non-developmental solution to address requirements of the U.S. Army's Rifleman Radio and NettWarrior programs. The new Falcon RF-330E delivers voice, data and situational awareness to the squad member and is the smallest and lightest soldier radio addressing the requirements of these key Department of Defense programs.

The RF-330E is a lightweight, wireless radio for connecting front-line soldiers to the tactical Internet to facilitate command and control. The radio delivers real-time position location information and multiple talk groups, while also supporting additional combat applications. The RF-330E utilizes the same widely fielded battery and charging systems as the Harris Falcon III® AN/PRC-152A, easing the logistical burden, reducing sustainment costs, and lightening the soldier’s load. The radio leverages Harris’ expertise as the leading tactical radio provider to the U.S. Department of Defense, while taking advantage of the broad range of tactical radio accessories already available.

The RF-330E was introduced and demonstrated at the recent Army Expeditionary Warfighting Experiment at Fort Benning, Georgia. Soldiers deployed the radio during the exercise in a configuration supporting the Army NettWarrior End User Device. Harris developed the RF-330E-TR under its commercial business model in response to the U.S. Army’s request for non-developmental Rifleman Radio and NettWarrior solutions. The Army is now including compliant non-developmental solutions for these two programs, leveraging investments made by industry rather than spending the taxpayers’ dollars.
