Overview

The ACC-188 PCMCIA 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 GPS maps, images, coordinates, and IM-type communications.

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.
