AN/PRC-112G® CSAR Transceiver
Seek. And it shall find.
The General Dynamics AN/PRC-112G® Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) transceiver sends encrypted
global positioning (lat/long, UTM or MGRS), two-way messages, and identification, providing essential, quick
and accurate location and rescue information for air crews, forward air controllers and personnel operating
in hazardous conditions. And the single, short burst to CSAR aircraft supports a low probability of detection
and interception.
Software Defined. Upgradeable.
The latest in the line of HOOK2™ CSAR products, the cost-effective AN/PRC-112G (formerly the GPS-112) is
fully upgradeable to add new features as they become available and as your mission or requirements
change.
Terminal Guidance
and More Angles to the Survivor.
Based on — and backwards compatible with — the field proven AN/PRC-112, AN/PRC-112B (HOOK-112)
and AN/PRC-112B1, the General Dynamics AN/PRC-112G features DIRECT, line-of-sight voice and encrypted
two-way data communications between the survivor and the rescue forces — with no handoffs required. In
addition, the AN/PRC-112G system communicates over-the-horizon with the addition of the two-way
SATCOM software option. It also combines beacon (including 406 SARSAT), transceiver, transponder and
GPS capabilities into a single, handheld radio for military, paramilitary, law enforcement, and government
agencies. And it communicates to our Quickdraw2® Interrogator onboard a variety of fixed or rotary wing
aircraft or on a U2 or UAV.
On the Horizon:
Enhanced Blue Force Tracking Capability
The versatile AN/PRC-112G can store up to 250 navigational waypoints, enabling it to be used as a standalone GPS receiver for navigation and route management — or as a VHF/UHF AM transceiver for ground-toair communications. In addition, several of our future upgrades are aimed at enhancing its ability to be used
to locate assets and personnel for Blue Force Tracking.
Embedded DME and GPS capabilities
Embedded within the radio is Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) which can be interrogated by the RSC125G or AN/ARS-6. Also embedded is a CA code, 12-channel parallel GPS receiver.
