The AN/PRC-160 Wideband HF/VHF Manpack Radio is a tactical HF/VHF manpack radio manufactured by L3Harris. The PRC-160 is the manpack HF radio for the Harris Falcon III family of radios. It replaces the earlier AN/PRC-150, with a smaller form factor and lighter weight than its predecessor, and being capable of 4th Generation Automatic Link Establishment (4G ALE), achieving data transmission speeds up to 10 times faster.




Service history


The AN/PRC-160 began production in 2017 as the HF manpack component to the Harris Falcon III ecosystem of tactical radios. Several DoD contracts have since been signed by branches of the US military, including a nearly $8 million US Air Force contract for 264 radios. The PRC-160 is part of the Integrated Tactical Network, the US Army's successor to the failed Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) program. The PRC-160 is also in service with the special operations forces of multiple European nations, including Germany, Poland, France, and Ukraine.
The PRC-160 offers improved data transmissions speeds compared to previous generation HF manpack radios, thanks to the use of 4G ALE. This improvement in data speed, combined with the fact that HF radios (unlike SATCOM radios) do not require external infrastructure to achieve Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) communications with stations several hundred miles away, has led to many nations armed forces investing in new HF radios for redundancy against the vulnerabilities of SATCOM radio communication systems.
