AN/PRC-163 Multi-channel Handheld Radio

Connect to more communications agility with a SWaP-optimized, dual-channel, crossbanding handheld

Extend the reach of real-time intelligence from command to squad level with seamless crossbanding of SATCOM, Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Beyond Line-of-Sight (BLOS) networks. Access encrypted data from a wide variety of platforms and sensors, while simultaneously networking up to 200 users. Even geographically isolated units can share voice and data, while advancing situational awareness (SA) with an ISR mission module that adds full motion video (FMV) capabilities.
