"This software-defined radio system will provide beyond-line-of-sight communications in the rugged and mountainous terrain of Afghanistan. We're continuing to provide our US and international defense customers the broadest portfolio of field-proven, future-focused communications technologies that meet mission needs today and tomorrow."
The AN/VRC-104 system is a vehicular transceiver/amplifier that includes the AN/PRC-150, a Type-1 certified HF radio. In addition to the AN/VRC-104 and AN/PRC-150, Harris radios systems in a range of configurations have been installed in MRAP vehicles across the DoD's fleet.
