The Falcon III is a future-generation radio, which supports the US military’s JTRS requirements as well as worldwide network-centric operations.
The AN/VRC-110 is a fully integrated multiband vehicular radio system comprising an amplifier adapter and two Falcon III AN/PRC-152(C) multiband handheld radios that serve as handheld transceivers.
Soldiers in a vehicle equipped with AN/VRC-110 will communicate to the other warfighters in the battlefield by using the AN/PRC-152(C) handheld radios in the vehicle, while remaining powered on and connected to the network.
