The U.S. Army has awarded L3Harris Technologies and Collins Aerospace a $203.2 million contract for second-generation manpack radios, with each company receiving orders for 1,720 units. This order is part of the Army's third low-rate production phase and will begin delivery in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

The radios are integral to the Integrated Tactical Network (ITN), which aims to enhance battlefield communications and capabilities. L3Harris will provide AN/PRC-158 multi-channel radios worth $95 million, while Collins will supply AN/PRC-162 ground radios valued at approximately $108 million, both under a broader $12.7 billion contract.
