The State Department has approved Germany’s request to buy high-frequency, very-high frequency and ultra-high frequency radios and related equipment and services from the U.S. government through a potential $281 million foreign military sales agreement.
The global communications business of L3Harris Technologies will serve as the principal contractor in the FMS deal, which includes AN/PRC-117 radios, AN/PRC-160 radios, support equipment, spare and repair parts, diagnostic equipment, personnel training and training equipment and technical data and publications, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said Tuesday.
Germany will use the capabilities to enhance interoperability with other NATO forces and improve secure communications to counter existing and future threats.
The vendor will also provide contractor and government technical assistance, program support and logistics services.
DSCA notified Congress of the proposed deal Tuesday.
