It is designed to provide remote control and monitoring of all primary function of the RT-1439/VRC and RT-1253(C)/U series Receiver-Transmitters, when used in a vehicular configuration. The C-11291 and RT-1439/VRC and RT-1253(C)/U series Receiver-Transmitters are configured with the AM-7239/VRC series Amplifier-Adapter, Vehicular. SINCGARS IKs are designed to install a specified SINCGARS radio configuration into a specified vehicle. Each IKs contain the different components depends on the SINCGARS radio configuration being installed with the particular IK. The major components contain in these IKs may include Mounting Base, Electrical, MT-6352/VRC; Antenna, AS-3900A/VRC; Handset, H-250/VCEB; Loudspeaker, Control Unit, LS-671/VRC and the various cable assemblies. The First Article Test (FAT) will be required for these items. For the IKs, the FAT will be performed on the abovementioned major components, but not on the IKs. SINCGARS is a family of Very High Frequency-Frequency Modulation (VHF-FM) combat net radios designed to provide the primary means of command and control for combat, combat support, and combat service support units. The SINCGARS radios provide a resistance to jamming via Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM). The SINCGARS family of radios has the capability to transmit and receive voice and digital data, and is consistent with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Interoperability requirements. SINCGARS is the primary soldier-to-soldier communications system and is one of the five major communications/data elements that provide seamless digital communications to the Army end user.
