Foot patrols can utilise the new PRC-4090 HF Tactical Manpack Package, to stay in contact.
This equipment is both dependable and lightweight. The transceiver weighs a mere 2.95 kg thanks to the use of the latest lightweight alloys. The complete package, including battery, charging system and antennas, comes out to an easy-to-carry 5 kg.
Patrols of extended duration are supported by the latest battery and charging technology. The PRC-4090 transceiver utilises Barrett’s 16Ah advanced Li-ion battery for up to 64 hours of Rx-only operation. This battery is also designed for in-operation charging from either solar panels or a hand-crank.
Vehicle patrols can use the transceiver in a mobile configuration, utilising the docking station and obtaining power from the vehicle battery. Base station configurations are also available, ensuring everyone on your team is using state-of-the-art equipment.
