The is a software-defined radio designed to replace older, single-channel systems like the AN/PRC-117G . It is primarily recognized for its ability to handle two simultaneous channels in a package that is roughly 30% smaller than previous dual-channel manpacks. Core Performance & Features
The is a cornerstone of modern military command and control. As a Software Defined Radio (SDR), it delivers simultaneous dual-channel voice and high-speed data communications across a massive 30 MHz to 2.5 GHz frequency spectrum .
Dedicated connection for the embedded SAASM (Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module) GPS, which ensures accurate position location reporting. Front Panel and Display Comes fully equipped with integrated MUOS-ready hardware for
The AN/PRC-158’s versatility stems from its Software Defined Radio (SDR) architecture, allowing a single hardware unit to execute completely different mission profiles simultaneously across its dual channels.
