Dismounted Communications
Lightweight, software-based, proven performance, full coalition interoperability.
The radios in the AN/PRC-148 family are the most widely-fielded multiband, portable Type 1 radios in
the world. With rigorous testing and certification, the AN/PRC-148 MBITR [Multiband Inter/Intra
Team Radio] and the AN/PRC-148 JEM [JTRS Enhanced MBITR] are the most trusted handheld
radios, providing reliable performance for warfighters around the globe. As a handheld that
weighs in at less than 2 pounds or as a high-power man pack system, the AN/PRC-148 delivers
multimode, multiband interoperability with a wide range of encryption types and waveforms. With
the AN/PRC-148 family, Thales has pioneered a clear, low-risk path to JTRS based on proven
performance. Risk is not an option.

Flexible Mobility
A common platform facilitates rapid shifting between mounted and dismounted operation with full capability.
The Vehicle Adapter and Vehicle Adapter Amplifier expand critical communication capabilities. Easily
mounted in air, land or sea vehicles, they provide power amplification for range extension while
recharging AN/PRC-148 handheld radios to support a wide range of secure voice and data
applications. With Thales’ unparalleled rapid dismount capability – no cables to disconnect, no loss
of critical time – teams can shift seamlessly from mounted to dismounted operation in less than
two seconds. Every second counts.

Operational Versatility
Commonality of components and the proven AN/PRC-148 core radio platform enable
range extension through connection with your Base Station and Tactical Repeater.
The Base Station and Tactical Repeater substantially enhance AN/PRC-148 radio system
versatility. Whether the requirement is fixed command center operations or range extension, the compact, power-boosting Base Station and self-contained Tactical Repeater provide
multiband, multimode, coalition interoperability across the entire 30-512 MHz frequency range.
And rugged packaging means that warfighters can count on these system components in the
toughest conditions. Connected and secure.
