® assuredcommunications™ AN/PRC-150(C) ADVANCED HF/VHF TACTICAL RADIO SYSTEM NSA Certified a fully integrated, compact communications system, offering the security and performance features your missions demand The AN/PRC-150(C) is a member of the Falcon® II family of multiband tactical radio systems. It is an advanced HF-SSB/VHF-FM manpack radio that provides reliable tactical communications through enhanced secure voice and data performance, networking, and extended battery life. In addition to the HF capability, the transceiver’s extended frequency range (to 60 MHz) provides secure FSK 16 kbps CVSD voice and data in the VHF band. The NSA-certified AN/PRC-150(C) provides U.S. Type 1 voice and data encryption compatible with ANDVT/KY-99, ANDVT/KY-100, VINSON/KY-57, and KG-84C cryptographic devices, eliminating the need for external encryption. An integral Citadel® encryption mode offers secure communication interoperability with coalition and Partnership for Peace forces. High speed data rates, up to 9600 bps (HF), and selectable ARQ modes reduce on-the-air transmission time and enhance secure data transmission for improved communications reliability and throughput. The combined robust digital voice (MELP, LPC-10) and serial tone data modem operate over poor communication channels. The AN/PRC-150(C) includes a last ditch voice mode that transmits digital voice using ultra robust 3G waveforms for operation in channels where no other waveforms will work. A serial-tone ECCM waveform with DSP-based excision filtering and a 600 bps MELP vocoder are combined to provide reliable, secure HF communications in the presence of jamming. Secure digital voice, 75 to 2400 bps data, and ARQ are supported in the ECCM mode. In addition to MIL-STD-188-141B ALE, the AN/PRC-150(C) includes STANAG 4538 third generation HF Link Automation. It provides high performance ALE and data link protocols, providing superior linking and error-free data transfer. The radio also provides Scope Command telephony calling capability. The AN/PRC-150(C) can connect to a standard PLGR GPS device. The accurate GPS timing data can be used for ECCM and advanced ALE synchronization. Integrated telephony capability allows the radio operator to place and receive telephone calls using the radio keypad when used with the RF-6010 Tactical Network Access Hub. The data capability and network management features of the radio utilize industry standard IP-based protocols to provide fast, simple, and direct communications.
