AN/KRC-6 (ATCS-BBU)

Certificate

Module description

The AN-KRC-6 ("the Module"), is a multiband, point-to-point (PTP), point-to-multipoint (PMP) and Mesh radio system. The Module operates as a component of the larger Amphibious Tactical Communications System (ATCS). The Module can also be referred to as the ATCS BBU. Each module can communicate wirelessly with other devices using the local RF channel frequencies, polarization and topology (LBH, NBH or UNW). The Module operates in VHF (RF band 3+). The Module offers encrypted digital communications over the TLS protocols, and management via SNMPv3.
