AN/ARC-182 VHF/UHF AM/FM Transceiver (Navy)
The ARC-182 was the predecessor to the ARC-210, and has been largely replaced by it. It is still used in several Navy & Air Force platforms. Developed in the late 1970s for the US Navy and was in initial production from FY80 for the USAF and Navy. Initially, dual ARC-182 installations were made for the Navy's F/A-18 and AV-8B aircraft while retrofit installations were planned for many operational aircraft.
The AN/ARC-182(V) is an all-solid-state VHF/UHF AM/FM airborne transceiver, suitable for all types of aircraft. The equipment can be used in fixed station, transportable and vehicle-mounted single, dual and auto-retransmit applications. It appears in the type 28V-1 communications mission terminal, and the 994A-4 portable system.
The AN/ARC-182(V) combines both VHF AM/FM and UHF AM/FM transmission and reception capabilities into a single unit. Selection between bands is automatically accomplished as the operator selects the desired frequency (preset or manual) on the control unit. In addition, both AM and FM preset band emergency guard frequencies are automatically tuned through dedicated positions on the selector knob of the companion control. The AN/ARC-182(V) is in service in 42 countries on more than 120 airborne, ground, and mobile installations.
The transceiver is manufactured by Rockwell-Collins for the following naval platforms: EA-6B, E-2C, F/A-18A/B, F/A-18C/D, F-14A, F-14B, F-14D, UH-1N, TH-1N , AH-1W, SH-2F, SH-2G, SH-3H, CH-46D, UH-46D, CH-46E, HH-46D, CH-53D, CH-53E, RH-53D, MH-53E, SH-60B, SH-60F, HH-60J, VH-60N, HH-65A, P-3C, EP-3E, S-3A, S-3B, ES-3A, T-34, T-45A, AV-8B, TAV-8B, NTAV-8B, MV-22.
