AN/PRC-162(V)1 radio passes MUOS testing
Rockwell Collins’ AN/PRC-162(V)1 software-defined military radio has passed Do No Harm (DNH) testing to meet security requirements for operation with the Department of Defense’s final version of the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS).
The DNH testing was performed on the AN/PRC-162 by the US Navy Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command using the current version of the MUOS waveform.
The MUOS will provide military forces with clear voice, video and mission data over a secure high-speed Internet Protocol-based system. MUOS will also provide a connection into the global information grid, as well as into the defense switched network, and has been successfully tested to distribute Integrated Broadcast Service messages.
