    • 2. Embeddable Encryption

    Unlike older systems that required an external encryption box (like the Clansman system's various external secure units), the PRC-6020 integrated secure voice modules directly. This reduced the bulk on the soldier's chest and minimized cable failures in the field. Transceiver Type: Solid-state

    Performance and operational considerations

    Primary: 12V, 15Ah Lithium Sulphur Dioxide (LiSO2) non-rechargeable packs from manufacturers like Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).

    Physical Portability: The unit is designed as a man-pack weighing less than 5.5 kg (including battery) with dimensions roughly around 360x255x100 mm.
