Packaged sYsTeMs

Soldiers and marines perform many different tasks at the squad and small unit level, but have similar requirements for intra-squad connectivity. Our modular approach to soldier systems provides four different configurations of integrated communications and ancillary capabilities, for the right equipment at the right time.

A one size fits all soldier system could burden some soldiers with equipment they dont need or leave others without the specialized tools required for performing their jobs. Harris Corporations new, simplified approach to systems procurement uses pre-engineered system configurations that provide fast, cost-effective solutions to the warfighters most critical operational needs, such as mission-specific support for scouts, snipers, team leaders, and other dismounted soldiers.

Harris offers these soldier systems as part of its comprehensive family of preconfigured packaged systems. Each system is fully integrated and includes all equipment, cables, software, and manuals, with training and installation available. Every system has undergone extensive testing and can be relied upon to meet its objectives.

This executive summary describes the family of FalconFighter soldier systems and outlines the advantages of our packaged systems approach:

l Low Risk Field proven and comprehensively tested systems provide existing, cost-effective solutions

l Fast Delivery Complete systems can be delivered in a matter of months to meet urgent operational needs

l Simplified Procurement Systems can be purchased as off-the-shelf items, eliminating long system definition and development phases

l Phased Implementation Packaged systems form building blocks that enable the incremental acquisition of capability

l Flexibility Packaged systems are readily customized and can be integrated by in-country partners

All this from Harris, a company with over 50 years of large-scale international communications systems experience, the most comprehensive range of tactical communications products, and world-class systems engineering and integration capabilities.

Warfighters must execute a wide variety of missions on a day-to-day basis. In asymmetric warfare scenarios, they are often required to find and engage an enemy, while also conducting stability and support operations (SASO). Mission performance can be enhanced with task-specific communications support.

Soldiers and marines routinely interact with civilians in asymmetric warfare and SASO. For example, a soldier might be assigned to interview a village elder to obtain human intelligence or build a relationship. Or a small unit leader may need to engage an adversary who is hiding in and attacking from a village, while avoiding friendly and civilian casualties during the operation. In either case, having the right tools in the soldier system kit can improve the mission outcome.

Sniper teams can safely engage threats in situations where a standard force-on-force confrontation could lead to civilian casualties; however, accidentally involving an innocent civilian could jeopardize months of positive interactions. Accurate identification of the threat is critical. If the information were available, remote analysts could compare images or video of the target against a threat database and review the latest intelligence reports to determine if the threat is likely to be in the area of interest.

In order for this collected data or video be of value, there must be a communication channel that delivers it to higher echelons and also enables commanders orders to be flowed down to the

team members. In addition to inter-echelon communications, real-time communications between members of a squad increase the likelihood of mission success and help ensure troop safety.

Intra-squad communications, moreover, should not create an additional burden or distraction for the soldier or marine, who needs to be able to focus on his surroundings. And the communications system must provide reliable intra-squad connectivity, whether the squad members are in fighting positions, performing house-to-house searches, or simply walking down the street.

Harris FalconFighter systems and accessories are assembled into cost-effective mission modules to solve these and other problems faced by soldiers, marines, and small teams. Tactical video kits allow a soldier on a human intelligence mission to record video of interactions with civilians, as well as transmit that information and still images back to higher echelons. With a scope adapter, a similar kit enables a sniper team to send video to higher echelons for confirmation of the targets identity.

To minimize the burden on the warfighter, Harris has designed a simple FalconFighter ensemble that provides robust communications between team members, regardless of their posture or location. The radio can be easily keyed while the soldier continues to observe his surroundings. The headset not only minimizes the probability of detection due to very low emitted noise, but also provides hearing protection.

keeping soldiers connected and productive requires a complement of specialized capabilities

3Harris understands the squad or team leaders role as the gateway to higher echelon support and communications networks. Data and position location information (PLI) from the individual team members flow through him to the next level of command. A specialized, highly integrated FalconFighter configuration has been developed that fully networks the leader with his team and simultaneously with adjacent leaders and the platoon leader.

The following pages provide more detail on how the modular Harris soldier systems support soldiers and marines at the edge with specialized capabilities for their diverse missions and challenges.

The Harris FalconFighter systems provide:l Real-Time Intelligence HUMINT missions are directly

supported by recording video and audio of interviews and forwarding that information to intelligence analysts in real time or at the end of the day.

l Enhanced Command and Control Every person in a squad or small team is interconnected to ensure coordinated execution of missions and reliable forwarding of PLI data.

l Increased Mission Success Providing the tools needed for mission-specific requirements increases the probability the mission will succeed and enhances troop safety.

l Low Impact Solutions Systems are designed and integrated to minimize distractions to the soldier, using equipment with downscaled size and weight.

FalconFighter allows the soldier to concentrate on the mission

The FalconFighter soldier solutions use the advanced wideband communications capabilities of the new Falcon III tactical radio products including the RF-7800S Secure Personal Radio and the RF-7800M-HH multiband networking handheld radio. Video solutions for HUMINT and sniper missions also utilize the RF-7400E-VP Tactical Video Processor for the capture, storage, and encoding of the analog video.

The four FalconFighter kits can be utilized together or independently, and can be further customized for specific

applications. The scenario below illustrates the functionality of the modules as they might be used during a typical reconnaissance mission within a civilian environment.

A squad is assigned the HUMINT task of searching a village for known suspects. One soldier is given the videographer kit for capturing video and streaming it to the team leader. Other squad members are outfitted with the dismount soldier system, enabling them to communicate with each other and the team leader with a wireless, rifle-mounted push-to-talk switch and a tactical headset. The squad leader is equipped with the networked soldier system,

soluTioN overview

Providing custom solutions for the warfighter that optimize mission success

5which allows him to communicate with the team over the SPR and also to communicate with and bridge data to his command network on the RF-7800M-HH radio.

As the soldiers move through the village, they are able to clearly communicate their status and pertinent details about their locale. The body-worn dipole antennas are easy to maneuver with and provide greater range than standard rubber duck antennas, ensuring team connectivity even in built-up areas. While the search advances, the videographer and squad leader are interviewing the townspeople. These interactions are captured in the Tactical Video Processor for subsequent briefing to analysts at the Forward Operating Base.

At a critical point in an interview, the squad leader feels that the information being presented is of real-time importance. The videographer begins to stream video and audio to the team leader, who retransmits it over the longer-range, networked RF-7800M-HH to the platoon leader. The information is routed from the platoon vehicle to the forward base over the RF-7800M manpack radio, which supplies greater bandwidth and increased throughput.

When the team captures a picture of a villager who is acting suspiciously, it is immediately transmitted back to base. Analysts there confirm that the person is indeed a threat and should be apprehended, but not before the suspect runs into a nearby shop and takes several hostages. To protect the other civilians and their property, the platoon leader dispatches a sniper team to eliminate the threat.

Automatic PLI data supports the teams ability to conduct the mission without fear of friendly fire mishaps, since the position of all the deployed squad members is known. This information is transmitted by the FalconFighter equipment and displayed on the Harris FalconCommand situational awareness application running on a rugged laptop and on the SPR Leader Radio display modules.

Video from the sniper scope is provided directly to the platoon leader and back to the local base, where it is viewed on Harris Falcon C2View. The identity of the threat is confirmed to the sniper, and the threat is eliminated without collateral damage. Sniper team video is also available on the TVP for later analysis and training.

key Features:l Modularity FalconFighter kits are assembled from

standard Harris products, for plug-and play efficiency and interoperability.

l IP-Based Communications Data and video are directly formatted into IP packets for ease of dissemination across multiple radio networks.

l Customized Off-the-Shelf Availability This equipment is available today and can be readily customized for mission-specific needs.

l Designed as Personnel-Borne Systems Designed for minimal size, weight, and power to alleviate the burden on soldiers at the edge.

A modular approach helps the Warfighter adapt to changing roles and missions

Tactical reconnaissance soldier systemThis Soldier System configuration provides a soldier or marine with the capability to perform tactical reconnaissance missions using a helmet-mounted video camera. The RF-7400E-IK Day & Night Helmet-Mounted Bullet Camera provides color imaging during the day and automatically switches to black and white (B&W) mode during low-light or nighttime conditions. The compact RF-7400E-VP Tactical Video Processor is body-worn and enables the videographer to store and process full motion video for transmission in real time back to higher command authorities

including tactical command centers and combat vehicle operations. The RF-7800S SPR Team Radio provides simultaneous video streaming and squad voice communications, as well as automatic reporting of position location information. A rugged laptop with RF-7400E-CV Falcon C2View Video Management Application software permits the video to be received and displayed remotely. Video can be stored for archival purposes on the laptop and accessed later as required.

advanced wideband tactical radios providesimultaneous voice, video, and situational awareness

secure Personal radio Soldiers using the RF-7800S Secure Personal Radio (SPR) will take advantage of the most advanced personal team radio in the world.

The SPR Team Radio is designed specifically to provide secure, conferenced voice; wideband data; and situational awareness communications at the soldier and marine level. Much more than a standard push-to-talk voice radio, the RF-7800S provides key benefits in a package that weighs only 300 grams. Its small size and light weight allow the warfighter to focus on the mission, not his equipment load.

The Leader Radio augments the powerful Team Radio capabilities with the addition of an embedded processing module, enabling dedicated command application functionality in a lightweight, soldier-friendly package. (An example of a command application is the Harris FalconCommand application described below.)

Tactical video ProcessorThe RF-7400E-VP Tactical Video Processor (TVP) is a lightweight, body-worn unit that enables soldiers at the squad and platoon levels to process, store, and stream full-motion video back to tactical command centers or combat vehicles. Unlike other video processors and recorders, the TVP provides these two capabilities from a single, compact package. Users have full control over the video output (frame rate and resolution) and most importantly, they can stream video over Falcon III radios, including both the RF-7800M and the RF-7800S.

The TVP receives an analog video feed from a camera and then digitizes and converts the stream to an advanced video compression standard. This enables the drastic reduction of bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining image quality. The TVP will simultaneously stream and record video when connected to an analog video camera. No additional software is required to configure TVP settings; all programming is performed from a web browser while the TVP is connected through a USB portal.

Falconcommand applicationFalconCommand allows leaders to share vital battlefield intelligence with their soldiers during mission planning and as the mission unfolds. By equipping each member of the infantry command staff with up-to-date intelligence, plans, and situational awareness, information superiority over the enemy is achieved, ensuring mission success.

Compatible with military or civilian GPS, the system provides dynamically updated navigational information via radio communications. Real-time troop position updates for both friendly and enemy forcesalong with sensor data and statusprovide a user-defined common operational picture of the battlefield.

Under the team leaders control, soldiers automatically receive target acquisition, identification, and target hand-off functions. Audible alerts can be generated to warn when key points or No- Go zones are approached. FalconCommand also automatically transmits No-Fire or danger zones and Man Down alerts to help account for every soldier.
