Description

The AN/PRS-11 Suitcase Portable Receive Suite (SPRS) is a compact, lightweight Ka-Band satellite terminal designed for single-person transport and set up. It enables access to the US DoD Global Broadcast Service (GBS) Network at the tactical edge.

The AN/PRS-11 has GBS broadcast reception capability up to 45Mbps, from UHF Follow-On (UFO) and Wideband Global SAT- COM (WGS) transponders. It integrates with all High-Assurance IP Encryption (HAIPE) devices to support single and dual security enclaves from Secret up to Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) classification. In addition to imagery, the system also provides access to streaming videos, web content, and other larger files. Though the primary focus has been to transmit data, the AN/PRS-11 provides an alternate communications path, assisting in resiliency through diversity.

The AN/PRS-11 terminal provides secure, reliable communications in an expeditionary package and facilitates a much shorter setup and tear-down time to meet high command post mobility require- ments. The AutoAQYR (acquire) acquisition algorithm automati- cally establishes satellite acquisition within three minutes. A Single BA-2590 battery power the AN/PRS-11 continuously for over 8 hours. This portable unit weighs just 31 pounds in tactical carry mode. Every device goes through a series of tests at our in-house facility to ensure quality and performance. It can withstand ad- verse environmental conditions, including high humidity, blowing sand, rain, and extreme heat/cold. The AN/PRS-11 has passed all MIL-STD-810G requirements. It has been fielded as a critical ISR (Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) platform since 2007 with Special Operation Forces worldwide.
