Harris Introduces New Multiband,

Multimission VHF/UHF Radio

For Export Markets

Harris RF Communications

Group recently introduced a new multiband VHF/UHF radio trans- ceiver designed to meet the multimission, multiwaveform re- quirements of modern international defense forces.

The new AN/PRC-117D(E) was introduced by Harris specifically for export markets and provides mul- tiple frequency bands in one com- pact lightweight manpack radio set.

The AN/PRC-117D(E) operates in

VHF-FM, VHF-FM/AM and UHF-

FM/AM frequency bands and pro- vides for line-of-sight (LOS) opera- tion in all bands, giving complete mission flexibility for ground-to-air, ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore and ground-to-ground communications.

The AN/PRC-117D(E) is inter- operable with most tactical radios, including fixed frequency VHF and

UHF systems. Waveforms include

AM and FM modulation, and Har- ris' proprietary ECCM frequency hopping. ECCM capability is avail- able in all bands in all line-of-sight

The AN/PRC-117D(E) is a multiband, multimission

VHF/UHF radio for international defense forces modes, and is interoperable with fielded AN/PRC-117A and AN/VRC- 94A(V) series radios.

When used with the built-in RF- 3995 digital encryption option, the

AN/PRC-117D(E) provides ad- vanced communications security in the voice and data modes. The RF- 3995 uses a proprietary pseudoran- dom key-generator algorithm with up to 10 exp 52 combinations.

The unique combination of mul- tiple frequency bands and wave- forms available in the AN/PRC- 117D(E) effectively reduces the num- ber of radios needed to provide the same communications capability.

The AN/PRC-117D(E) is available in manpack and vehicular versions.

The complete manpack radio set weighs only 15.2 pounds, including battery, antenna and handset. The vehicular version is available with either 10 or 50 watt output.

Weight: 401b«. dry, 11511*. wet

Unique Simple Process

Sewage flows from the head directly into the

Digestor(s) where it makes its way through a series of baffles. It is broken down and dissolved by natural bacterial action during this stage.

The resulting liquid (effluent) is then pumped through the Filter and passes through the chlorinator, where the final stage of purification and deodorization takes place.

Upkeep simply requires an addition of the Humphrey

Activator flushed through the head periodically, a spot check on the chlorine pellets and niter. Thats it,

No Muss, No Fuss!

Models available for any crew size

This compact Sewage

Treatment system emits clear and ododess dis- charge better than the

TYPE HI, no doscharge devices, which requires the use of pump out facilities that are inade- quate across the country.
