About this file

This document is a product description for the L3Harris Falcon III AN/PRC-160(V) Wideband HF/VHF Tactical Radio System. The radio is designed for military communications, featuring advanced security and performance capabilities. Key specifications include continuous frequency coverage from 1.5 to 60 MHz, data rates up to 120 kbps, and NSA-certified encryption supporting legacy and modern voice and data up to the TOP SECRET level. The radio system supports secure interoperability with Coalition and Partnership for Peace forces through advanced encryption algorithms.

The radio comes in two variants: RT-2060(C)/U (SAASM GPS version) and RT-2061(C)/U (Commercial GPS version), with a compact design weighing 9.1 lbs. It offers multiple power output options (1, 5, 20 watts HF; 1, 5, 10 watts VHF), supports various emission modes, and meets MIL-STD-810G environmental standards. The system includes numerous accessories such as an operator's manual, GPS antenna, battery box, and optional accessories like a battery eliminator and remote control kit. The radio is designed for tactical use across air, land, sea, and cyber domains, providing robust communication capabilities for military operations.

KEY BENEFITS

> World’s first and only Type 1 HF manpack meeting new NSA crypto-modernization requirements

> Data rates up to 10 times greater than existing HF radios

> Secure interoperability among U.S., Coalition and Partnership for Peace forces

> Supports immediate radio replacement using existing L3Harris vehicular and base station equipment

> Smallest, lightest, fastest HF manpack available today

Advanced Security and Power in a Lightweight Manpack

The NSA-certified RT-2060(C)/U and RT-2061(C)/U, components of the AN/PRC-160(V)1 and AN/PRC-160(V)2, will protect the confidentiality of legacy and modern voice and data up to the U.S.

TOP SECRET level with L3Harris Sierra™ II software programmable encryption.

This wideband manpack supports secure interoperability with Coalition and Partnership for Peace forces through modern algorithms, including the L3Harris proprietary Citadel® and AES encryption.

In addition to MIL-STD-188-141B ALE, a third-generation automatic link establishment per STANAG 4538, provides improved ease of use and high-performance reliability. The embedded SAASM or commercial GPS receiver ensures accurate Position Location Information for enhanced Situational Awareness.

This SWaP-optimized manpack delivers continuous coverage from 1.5 to 60 MHz with a single battery while providing 20 watts HF and 10 watts VHF power.

With its high-speed wideband waveform, the AN/PRC-160(V) transmits data in bandwidths from 3 kHz to 24 kHz. Data rates of up to 120 kbps are supported through technology that optimizes channel selection and adapts the selected channel to real-time conditions.
