The L3Harris Falcon III AN/PRC-152A provides simultaneous voice, video and high-speed data in a highly portable form factor. Employing the Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW) and Harris Adaptive Networking Wideband Waveform (ANW2®C) this handheld delivers ad-hoc, self-healing and adaptive networking capabilities to dismounted soldiers on the move. The RF-7850M-HH is interoperable with L3Harris Falcon II® and Falcon III radios. Plus, it has a simplified user interface and embedded applications that eliminate the cost and complexity associated with in-field data terminals, such as PDAs and PCs. The Falcon iii® an/prC-152 single-channel multiband, multimission handheld radio provides the optimal transition to Jtrs technology. The radio covers the full 30 to 512 mhz frequency range with adjustable transmit output power up to 5 watts for line-of-sight operation and 10 watts in uhF satCom band. With its Jtrs-approved software. The Harris Falcon III® AN/PRC-117G(V)1(C) Multiband Networking Manpack Radio is a software-defined tactical radio that provides breakthrough wideband data performance and legacy narrowband interoperability in one lightweight package. The Falcon III ® AN/PRC-152 single-channel multiband, multimission handheld radio provides the optimal transition to JTRS technology. The radio covers the full 30 to 512 MHz frequency range with adjustable transmit output power up to 5 watts.

Users[edit]
The AN/PRC-152 radio is currently in use with the US Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams in their MRAPJERRV vehicles.[4] As of 2005, 1,300 radios have also been fielded in vehicles by the US Army.[5] and more than 8,600 have been fielded by the U.S. Marines.[6] An undetermined number are in use by the US Air Force in Iraq and Afghanistan.[7] More recently the radio was photographed with Prince Harry, then a 23-year-old second lieutenant in the Household Cavalry of the British Army. He was responsible for providing cover for troops on the frontline as a Forward Air Controller (FAC) employing the AN/PRC-152 Multiband Handheld and other systems.[8]
