POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Poland—Communications Equipment
The Government of Poland has
requested to buy communications
equipment, including AN/PRC–117G,
AN/PRC–152A, AN/PRC–158, AN/PRC–
160, AN/PRC–163, and AN/PRC–167
radios; Global Positioning System (GPS)
receivers enabled by Selective

program support. The estimated total
program cost is $255 million.
This proposed sale will support the
foreign policy goals and national
security objectives of the United States
by improving the security of a North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
Ally that is a force for political stability
and economic progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve
Poland’s communications capability
and contribute to its military goal of
updating capability while further
enhancing interoperability with the
United States and other allies. Poland
will have no difficulty absorbing this
equipment into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will L3Harris
Technologies, Inc., Melbourne, FL.
There are no known offset agreements
proposed in connection with this
potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require temporary duty travel of up

legacy narrowband performance.
Equipped with MUOS-ready hardware,
this manpack is 30% smaller and 35%
lighter than any other currently
available. The AN/PRC–117G is also the
industry’s first and only tactical radio
with NINE Suite B encryption, allowing
for secure interoperability with the
United States, NATO, and regional
tactical partners.
2. The Falcon III AN/PRC–152A
delivers simultaneous voice and highspeed data, seamlessly connecting
dismount and upper-echelon networks.
Even in challenging environments, the
AN/PRC–152A provides voice, data,
imagery, and video, giving warfighters
critical mission intelligence for
enhanced decision-making.
3. The Falcon IV AN/PRC–158
delivers dual-channel connectivity
across the full 30–2500 MHz frequency
range. Compact and lightweight, the
MCMP provides forward-deployed
warfighters with an unrivaled level of
tactical communications flexibility.
Equipped with a Software
Communications Architecture (SCA)
and a broad portfolio of narrowband and
wideband waveforms, the AN/PRC–158
ensures advanced interoperability and
fast in-field updates for new
capabilities. The manpack’s two
channels and superior routing and
crossbanding technologies support
communications redundancy and
sharing critical voice and data
intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance (ISR) with a variety of
nets and sub nets.
4. The Falcon III AN/PRC–160(V) is
the smallest, lightest, and fastest Type 1certified high frequency (HF) manpack
available today. Engineered for
advanced security and performance, the
Wideband HF/VHF Tactical Radio
System features industry-leading
encryption and breakthrough data
performance and interoperability.
5. The AN/PRC–163 Multi-channel
Handheld Radio is a versatile, secure
solution that leverages crossbanding to
provide simultaneous data & voice
across SATCOM, Line-of-Sight, and
Mobile Ad-hoc Networking (MANET)
modes. As mission needs evolve, this
software-defined handheld supports
fast, in-field updates to new capabilities.
An external mission module hardware
interface allows warfighters to quickly
add options including ISR video and
SATCOM.
6. The AN/PRC–167 harnesses the
power of multiple tactical devices
converged into a single manpack. The
radio provides superior
communications range extension,
delivering real-time situational
awareness updates up and down levels

of command. Engineered to meet multidomain challenges of any combination
of ground, vehicular, and airborne
missions, the manpack simultaneously
and independently runs the full
frequency range of a broad portfolio of
waveforms on each of two channels. As
mission needs evolve, this softwaredefined manpack supports fast, in-field
capability updates.
7. The highest level of classification of
defense articles, components, and
services included in this potential sale
is SECRET.
8. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures that might
reduce weapon system effectiveness or

with similar or advanced capabilities.
9. A determination has been made
