[SatNews] Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS) has introduced FalconFighter(tm), a new modular soldier system that integrates a variety of advanced technologies into a single wearable uniform. Harris FalconFighter links C4 devices, sensors, networking components and power modules into a centralized wearable platform controlled by the individual soldier.

FalconFighter is uniquely designed to accommodate products with open standards and interfaces — making it easier for the system to adapt to incorporate changing mission requirements and integrate new emerging technologies. The core of the system is the Harris RF-7800S Leader Radio, the only personal soldier radio with a built-in computer. The Harris RF-7800S Leader Radio combines a lightweight tactical radio with a personal digital assistant to provide field commanders with advanced situational awareness and battle management tools. Harris provides its own power management, personal area networking, sensor systems and other accessories, and will integrate devices from other original manufacturers in a way that emphasizes functionality while limiting size and weight burdens.
