[SatNews] Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS) has successfully integrated its advanced wideband networking radio – already in use by warfighters in the field today – into the future Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Soldier Radio Waveform Network Manager.

During JTRS Contractor Development Testing, the Harris Falcon III® AN/PRC-117G multiband manpack radio – operating the JTRS Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW) – demonstrated interoperability with the JTRS SRW Network Manager, an enterprise-wide software application that will provide network management and planning capabilities for JTRS radios. Warfighters use the network manager to generate and load mission plans and also for real-time monitoring of JTRS radio networks, along with other functions. SRW is being developed to provide tactical voice, high-bandwidth data and battlefield networking connectivity to forces at the front of the fight. The integration took place in collaboration with the JTRS Joint Program Executive Office Network Enterprise Domain. As a result of the successful test, the AN/PRC-117G and SRW Network Manager are now ready for Formal Qualification Testing.
