What's Happening?
L3Harris Technologies plans to produce 12,500 RF-9820S Widmo radios per year in partnership with Polish manufacturer Centrum Techniki Morskiej. The radios, developed with lessons from the Armed Forces
of Ukraine, offer resilience to electronic warfare and adaptability to frequency jamming. The RF-9820S Widmo radios feature software-defined waveforms, allowing upgrades without removal from the battlefield. L3Harris aims to support Polish Armed Forces programs and expand its presence in Poland.
Why It's Important?
The production of RF-9820S Widmo radios in Poland enhances the country's defense capabilities and supports NATO's communication infrastructure. The radios' resilience to electronic warfare is crucial for modern military operations, particularly in conflict zones like Ukraine. L3Harris' partnership with Polish manufacturers reflects the strategic importance of Poland in regional security and defense technology development. The initiative also highlights the role of advanced communication systems in maintaining operational effectiveness and readiness.
