AN/VRC-103(V)1
an/vrc-103(V)2
multiband, multimission
vehicular RADIO SYSTEM
A fully integrated, 50-watt
communications system,
offering the security and
performance features that
missions demand
The AN/VRC-103(V)1 multiband, multimission manpack radio system covers the 30
to 512 MHz frequency range with up to 50 watts of transmit output power using the
included AN/PRC-117F(C) radio transceiver. The system has embedded Communications
Security (COMSEC), Transmission Security (TRANSEC), SINCGARS, and Havequick I/II
ECCM capability, with full-circuit protection, DC filtering, VHF/Low FM (30 to 90 MHz)
collocation filter, and Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Low Noise Amplifier (LNA).
Includes necessary accessories to allow manpack operation using the AN/PRC-117F(C) in a
“jerk-and-run” configuration. The AN/VRC-103(V)2 model has an additional (225 to 400
MHz) UHF AM collocation filter.
The AN/VRC-103(V) system is fully compatible with VINSON, ANDVT/KYV-5, KG-84C, and
12 Kbps Fascinator encryption in voice and data modes, with full Over-the-Air-Rekeying
(OTAR) capability. Storing up to 75 COMSEC keys, the radio supports DS-101, DS-102 fill,
and CT3 interfaces, utilizing all common fill devices.
An embedded software programmable JITC-certified SATCOM and Demand-Assigned
Multiple Access (DAMA) modem complies with DOD MIL-STD-188-181B, 182-/A, and
183-/A revisions. Mixed Excitation Linear Prediction (MELP) digitized voice greatly improves
narrowband voice communications and is MIL-STD-3005 compliant with other MELP
radios. The programmable SATCOM table can be custom built for international SATCOM
requirements. The system also features SATCOM Situational Awareness (SA) transmit and
receive capability.
The system has SINCGARS and Havequick I/II ECCM frequency hopping. ESIP and ASIP
modes are supported, along with ICOM Mode 2/3 SINCGARS, with manual or Global
Positioning System (GPS) and Time of Day (TOD) clock sync capability, and SA capability.
The High Performance Waveform (HPW) data waveform can securely transmit and
receive email and transfer large files over SATCOM and line-of-sight (LOS) AM/FM nets
by adapting to varying channel conditions. HPW ensures error-free data delivery using
high-speed, over-the-air data rates up to 64 Kbps on LOS nets and up to 56 Kbps on
wideband SATCOM nets.
Channel SCAN provides monitoring of up to 10 SATCOM or LOS nets. Both
CDCSS and CTCSS squelch tone support is provided in transmit and receive,
for LMR repeater systems and FRS nets.
The removable Keypad/Display Unit provides total control when on
the move with a full-function remote control capability. The simple,
menu-driven interface allows programming and control of 110
nets. Cable radio cloning is standard, or optional wireless
radio cloning with the Radio Programming Application
(RPA) ensure critical communications nets are quickly
and accurately programmed and established.
