 A Canadian-developed tactical software-defined radio used by the U.S. Army, United States Marine Corps|U.S. Marine Corps, and a number other countries, the AN/GRC-245, with the current version called the Enhanced High Capacity Line-of-Sight Radio (HCLOS), replaces the AN/GRC-226 radios in the AN|AN/TRC-190 family of transmission assemblages.[1] It is part of the Area Common User System Modernization (ACUS-Mod) variation on the Warfighter Information Network–Tactical (WIN-T) and JNN architecture, more compatible with the restructuring of the United States Army. The equipment has been in U.S. Army service since 2000. It is backwards-compatible with the AN/GRC-226, used in the Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE). ConfigurationThere are three major variants:
It operates in three freqency ranges:
The initial version had 16 Mbps of bandwidth, growing to 34 Mbps in a Joint Tactical Radio System-compatible mode. International useIt was developed by Canadian Communication Research Center (CRC) in concert with Ultra Electronics.[3] In addition, it is part of the UK Theatre Wide Communications Network in the Cormorant project, and the follow-on Falcon system. the AN/GRC-245 is also to be used by Taiwan. It has also been sold to India and Jordan. [4] References
