L3Harris says Army orders for its LOCODA vehicle radio total $121 million
The defense contractor said the orders are for its Low-Cost Data Radio, meant to give Army vehicles access to command-and-control applications.
L3Harris Technologies said Monday it has received multiple production orders from the U.S. Army with a combined value of $121 million for its Low-Cost Data Radio, known as LOCODA.
The company said the radio is meant to help meet Army Command and Control requirements by giving battlefield commanders access to command-and-control applications from a single vehicle platform. L3Harris said the system uses existing installation kits so it can be fielded quickly with minimal training.
According to the company, LOCODA will support narrowband and wideband waveforms, anti-jam capabilities, low-probability-of-intercept and low-probability-of-detection waveforms, Mobile Ad Hoc Network waveforms and SINCGARS radio systems.
"The program leverages existing installation kits and enables them to support new and emerging requirements, saving the Army time and money while delivering a more powerful capability than previously fielded," said Chris Aebli, president of Communications & Spectrum Dominance at L3Harris.
The company did not say when each order was received. The order value and the system's capabilities are the company's own statements.
