Rockwell Collins TruNet AN-PRC-162(V)1 networked communications ground radio.

The TruNet AN/PRC-162(V)1 multi-channel networked communications ground radio is the latest and most capable software defined radio (SDR) receiver-transmitter. This is part of the TruNet networked communications solution family, which also includes airborne radios, advanced networking waveforms, apps, ancillaries and services.

TruNet ensures secure connectivity between ground and airborne elements across the entire battlespace. From man-portable to vehicle-mounted, its adaptability enables the PRC-162 to offer unique capabilities while conforming to the latest SDR tenets and architectures. The PRC-162 is interoperable with earlier airborne V/UHF radio variants from Rockwell Collins.

Air, sea or land military forces depend on fully networked, secure communications and interoperability to increase warfighter survivability and effectiveness. Our PRC-162 delivers this mission-critical capability. It offers multiple waveforms – both narrowband and wideband – high-speed mobile ad hoc networked communications, point-to-point data, voice and next-generation SATCOM (MUOS).

The unit’s SDR architecture provides customers with superior versatility and independence. It enables legacy radio compatibility and is designed to support future waveform advances.
