AN/PRC-163 Multi-channel Handheld Radio

Key Benefits

AN/PRC-163 Multichannel 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.

  • Stay connected, no matter what, with simultaneous multi-channel communications
  • Lighten your load with one device that does it all, including 30MHz – 2.6GHz, INE, communications relay, satellite communications, UAV controller and GPS for high-assurance communications
  • Ensure mission success with plug-and-play mission modules for Full Motion Video
  • Stay ahead of jamming threats and other obstacles with seamless networking and multiple MANET options including TSM-X™, ANW2™ and Wraith™ waveforms and others
  • Simplify use in critical moments with the familiar Falcon® interface

Converged Technologies All in One Handheld System

DAGR, MANET, ISR, and INE all in one narrowband handheld radio

Commanders and forward teams simultaneously share voice, video and data without having to carry multiple radios and battery types.
