The company said Thursday its Falcon IV AN/PRC-163 two-channel handheld radios work to provide tactical communications and complies with USSOCOM’s standards.

This initial order supports special operations radio needs under the Next Generation Tactical Communications program and stems from a $390M contract issued in 2015 under the Next Generation Tactical Communications program.

Special operations forces may use the radio for multi-channel and satellite communications.
