Finally Thank you to higher powers. Even tho SF is the last SOF element to go all Harris.

If anyone is still looking for information for the any of the radio systems of Falcon II with Harris Corp. please contact me. I still have direct POC's for in-field training, operational diffculties, etc.
I know this change with Harris taking over battlefield comms is a god send, but questions will arise, and I would really like to help those of you that are either new to the 117, 152, and or the 150, which is in the new revised JBS.
Here's to better comms....Cheers!!

Harris contract
The 400 mil is for all of SOCOM. We USASFC got about 30 mil for 152A's and we should be getting a slice for more 117G's. Yes, its about time.

Now we argue requirements vs allowances and when SOCOM cuts the pie the ODAs will get 60% of what they really need. At least it'll be the right 60% (for a while). No - that wasn't pink and yes - I am disgruntled.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

They are still a generation behind where they should be (Harris), but this is SO much better than Thales.

Your disguntled....try being the 18E trianing developer for the 18E committee....
Seems folks forget about us in the BOIP...
However, we just got three shiny (well matt sand shiny) 1165's with all the radio internals and accoutraments...been along time coming. Only 4 yrs since it was in the '08 POI...
Hat's off to Pat O'Brien for helping out...with the "shortcuts"..
We also have gotten recently, VIC-3's, 117G's, JEM's, and we're gonna start mooching for 150's and ROVER's...
FBCB2 has been added along with DAGR...whooo hooo...we're finally gettin somewhere...
