The AN/PRC-117 Multiband Manpack Radio, or Multiband Multi Mission Radio (MBMMR), is a man-portable, tactical software-definedcombat-net radio, manufactured by Harris Corporation, in two different version:

• Version F (Foxtrot), namely AN/PRC-117F-MP Falcon II series, covering the 30-512 MHz frequency range, provided without internal GPS (optionally an external commercial GPS can be connected, or a GPS SAASM as a Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver [PLGR] or a Defense Advanced GPS Receiver [DAGR]);^[1]
• Version G (Golf), namely AN/PRC-117G-MP Falcon III series, covering the 30-2000 MHz frequency range, and provided with internal SAASM GPS (optionally an external commercial GPS can be connected).^[2]

Rt 1796 Technical Manual

Both radios have NSA certification for the transmission of voice and data traffic up to the Top Secret level.^[3]

The designation AN/PRC translates to 'Army Navy / Portable Radio Communications' used for two way Communications, according to Joint Electronics Type Designation System guidelines. The radios are also provided in a vehicular configuration under the AN/VRC-103 nomenclature.
