AN/PRC-163

Multi-channel Handheld Radio

The L3Harris AN/PRC-163 Multi-channel Handheld Radio is a versatile, secure solution that leverages crossbanding to provide simultaneous data and voice across SATCOM, Line-of-Sight and Mobile Ad-hoc Networking (MANET) modes.

As mission needs evolve, this software-defined handheld supports fast, in-field updates for new capabilities. An external mission module hardware interface allows warfighters to quickly add options including ISR full motion video (KIV-335A) and SATCOM (DTCS Mission Module).

The AN/PRC-163 has improved Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) compared to existing single-channel radios. Built off of L3Harris’ Multi-channel Denali® security architecture, it features MANET waveforms for high-speed networking and seamless updates to future waveforms.

It provides secure network connections to computing devices, including Android™ smartphones. Plus, the expansion module interface allows L3Harris to integrate additional technological capabilities to include third-party solutions.

The Human Machine Interface (HMI) of the AN/PRC-163 incorporates a familiar user experience that displays critical status information which can be manipulated via the front panel of the radio. The HMI can also be accessed remotely via a Keypad Display Unit (KDU) or End-User Device (Android Smart Phones and Windows based tablets or computers).

In addition to IW, SATCOM, and L-TAC™ (L-Band SATCOM), the AN/PRC-163 also offers alternative modes for Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) communications while on the move.
