The AN/PRC-154 Rifleman Radio is a handheld, intra-squad tactical radio used by the U.S. Army. It is intended to be employed by all members of a rifle squad not traditionally equipped with their own radio, thus enabling team and squad leaders to communicate with their subordinates from a distance. The 154 is capable of both voice and data traffic and is compatible with the Nett Warrior device for transmitting text messages, reports, and imagery.[1]
In accordance with the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), the "AN/PRC-154" designation represents the 154th design of an Army-Navy electronic device for portable two-way communications radio. The JETDS system also now is used to name all Department of Defense electronic systems.
