The ACC-188 USB synchronous serial radio adapter and free software
from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) upgrades
tactical radios with the capability to send and receive IP data such
as email, text messages, GPS maps, images, and coordinates.
The ACC-188 operates in conjunction with standard PDA-184 software
developed by and available from DISA. The PDA-184 software
provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows radio users to
transmit and receive a variety of data types at much higher speeds
than is possible with comparable, proprietary solutions.
A key advantage of the ACC-188 is that it enables interoperability
among the various radio brands and models used by the defense
community. The ACC-188 is compatible with any tactical radio that
has a synchronous communication port using MIL-STD-188-184.
This includes the most prevalent brands and models: Raytheon
AN/PSC-5D and ARC-231; Harris AN/PRC-117F and AN/PRC-150;
Thales AN/PRC-148; Rockwell Collins ARC-210; Motorola LST-5B
and LST-5C.
The PDA-184 software is government-developed, governmentowned
by DISA and includes these features:
- Saves thousands of dollars per radio compared to upgrading
hardware and purchasing expensive proprietary software
- Interoperable (send/receive data with different radio models
and brands)
-
