The
AN/PRC-148B MBITR2, the next generation Multiband Inter/Intra Team Radio,
builds on the legacy of the smallest, lightest, most power-efficient multiband,
tactical, handheld radio in use today. By leveraging technologies based
on the leading narrowband AN/PRC-148 tactical handheld radio and the leading
wideband AN/PRC-154 tactical handheld radio, the AN/PRC-148B MBITR2 provides
the dismounted warfighter with the ability to integrate into the wideband
tactical IP and voice network via the Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW) wideband
channel while simultaneously maintaining legacy reach back via the narrowband
channel. The AN/PRC-148B MBITR2 retains interoperability with existing
fielded radios and addresses tomorrow's requirements for a next generation,
wideband, networking handheld radio. |

The
AN/PRC-154 Rifleman Radio is a lightweight, rugged, body worn radio that
transmits voice and data simultaneously utilizing the Soldier Radio Waveform
(SRW). It brings secure inter-squad networked communications to the soldier
at the tactical edge of the battlefield network, improving mission effectiveness.
The radio allows self-forming, ad hoc, voice and data networks and enables
any leader at the tactical level to track individual soldier Position
Location Information (PLI), giving dismounted soldiers a much-needed situational
awareness capability. |
