Personal Radio Communications

Abstract

The Personal Radio Communications (PRC) system is a handheld survival radio for aircrew members. Currently, USAF aircrew use the PRC-90 survival radio, which was derived from the Vietnam War era. The current device is bulky and not conducive to today's wartime environment due to obsolescence and the frequency no longer being monitored. Newer, more advanced technology is needed to improve aircrew survivability and communications.
