AN/PRC-160(V) Wideband HF/VHF Manpack Radio

L3Harris leveraged 50 years of engineering expertise to deliver new generation HF capabilities in the AN/PRC-160(V). The manpack’s data speeds are up to ten times greater than any existing HF radio, giving warfighters the power to share higher-speed communications, superior resiliency and more sophisticated ISR through long-haul connectivity.

Industry-Leading Type 1 Encryption With Breakthrough HF Data Speeds and ISR Capabilities

The HF/VHF Tactical Radio System features software-programmable L3Harris Sierra™ II encryption, providing secure Type 1 interoperability among U.S., Coalition and Partnership for Peace forces. The manpack is fully compatible with L3Harris Falcon II® HF gear, supporting immediate installation using existing L3Harris vehicular and base station equipment. This wideband system is also the smallest, lightest, fastest wideband HF manpack available, SWaP-optimized to increase battery performance while reducing warfighter battle load and fatigue.
