HOLLYWOOD, MD--(Marketwire - June 16, 2009) - Smartronix has been awarded a contract to
supply Harris Corp with 525 Radio Data Adapter (RDA™) cables for the
AN/PRC117G wideband tactical radio systems in support of U.S. Air Force
Special Operations Command's Battlefield Air Operations Kit Program. The
RDA cable now supports radios including the PRC-117G and PRC-117F, PRC-150,
PRC-152, ARC-210, ARC-231, PSC-5D, and the PRC-148. The multi-functional
RDA cable is designed to simplify radio operations by allowing a computer
to perform up to five different radio interface tasks using a single USB
connection. This solution reduces cabling cost, weight, power requirements,
and complexity by combining several existing cables into one
multi-functional cable.
"The RDA cable suite will significantly increase operational capability
while decreasing the physical footprint and weight required to be carried
by the dismounted operator," said Steven Bishop, Director of Engineering
Solutions. "Ounces equal pounds and the RDA cable is paramount in the
effort to provide the war fighter lighter and leaner technology that helps
to simplify combat operations."
