The AN/PRC-152A handheld and AN/PRC-117G manpack radios provide the country’s forces with wideband tactical networking capabilities, and line-of-sight, ground-to-air and tactical satellite communications, according to the company.
The wideband network enables operators to send and receive tactical voice, video, and data, while the units also maintain legacy narrowband waveforms.
