RF Communications Winning the War on Terrorism Falcon II Radio Is A Commando Favorite. During the early stages of the air war over Mazar-e- Sharif in Northern Afghanistan, a little-known commando unit of the U.S. Air Force played a key role in directing successful bombing attacks against entrenched Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters. Members of the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) used sophisticated laser marking equipment and advanced radio systems on the ground to mark terrorist locations and call in air strikes by B-52 and B-1B bombers, and F-18 and F-14 fighters. The high-tech gear worked so well that the commando units were able to execute strikes within 700 yards of their own locations. This elite group of Air Force ground combatants uses Falcon II (117F) radios from Harris. The Falcon II multiband/multimission radio provides secure communications with forces on the ground, in the air, or at sea. The radio’s UHF-band allowed AFSOC forces on the ground to relay GPS coordinates to aircrews circling 39,000 feet overhead. Falcon II lightweight, software-defined radios are interoperable with communications equipment of all military services and are becoming a standard of U.S., NATO, and Partnership for Peace forces around the world. Multiple missions, multiple bands, one solution – Falcon II. Falcon ® II Radios: Harris Falcon II radios are becoming the preferred choice of U.S., NATO, and Partnership for Peace forces as well as government agencies and embassies. The Falcon II radio is used in man-transportable, mobile, strategic fixed-site, and shipboard applications. The radios also can be linked to computers, providing networking capabilities on the battlefield. 12 Photo courtesy of General Dynamics UK Ltd. Photo courtesy of the Associated Press
