AN/ARC-182

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


The AN/ARC-182 is a family of military aircraft radio transceivers designed for two-way, multi-mode voice communications over a 30 to 400 MHz frequency range. It covers both Ultra High Frequency (UHF) and Very High Frequency (VHF) bands with AM, FM, as appropriate. The ARC-182 radio supports the HAVE QUICK II anti-jam waveforms, with an optional control unit. It features a guard channel capability for monitoring 40.5, 121.5, 156.8 and 243 MHz. Transmitter minimum power is 10 watts, AM, and 15 watts, FM. The RT-1250A model radio can communicate with other avionics over a MIL-STD-1553 data bus.[1]

Developed in the late 1970s, the ARC-182s were manufactured by Rockwell Collins and are installed in a range of U.S. Navy, Marines and Coast Guard aircraft. Its frequency range includes the following bands:

  • VHF 30-88 MHz FM close air support
  • VHF 108-118 MHz AM navigation, receive only
  • VHF 118-156 MHz AM air traffic control
  • VHF 156-174 MHz FM maritime
  • UHF 225-400 MHz AM/FM military/NATO

Channel spacing is 25 kHz in all bands.

The transceiver weights about 10 lb (4.54 kg). Available accessories include remote controls, transmit power amplifiers, antennas, and ground support equipment.[2] It has been largely replaced by the AN/ARC-210 series.
