The radio, fully interoperable with deployed DoD radios, operates SINCGARS, VHF/UHF line-of-sight (VULOS), HaveQuick, IW for tactical satellite communications and other combat net radio waveforms.

The company has plans to add the JTRS soldier radio waveform (SRW) to the AN/PRC-152A radio, under the JTRS Enterprise Business Model.

Harris RF Communications group president Dana Mehnert said: "This new radio extends the tactical network to the edge, allowing for reliable connectivity across all levels and delivering vital command and control, situational awareness and critical ISR information."
