Thursday, 20 October, 2022 | Supplied by: Harris Corporation


L3Harris Technologies has announced its Iridium Distributed Tactical Communications Systems (DTCS) mission module, enabling push-to-talk voice and data for warfighters worldwide.

The module connects the L3Harris AN/PRC-163 multi-channel handheld tactical radio to the US Space Force’s DTCS network, providing warfighters in the field with secure voice and data communication without having to carry a separate Iridium satellite radio. This enables warfighters to stay connected anywhere on the battlefield and provides commanders with additional versatility exercising command and control. The ability to stay connected in virtually any situation should allow for better planning and responsive execution of missions.

Warfighters armed with the AN/PRC-163 and DTCS mission module can now communicate using any combination of satellite communications, mobile ad-hoc network, or line-of-sight modes even in situations when one or more connection methods are not available. Small, power-efficient and easy to use, the mission module attaches directly to the radio, or through a tethered cable, and is controlled from the radio’s existing control panel.
