DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MODELS

The AN/VIC-3(V) is an installation kit with multiple versions designed for specific vehicles and/or

platforms. Table 1-1. "MODULE NUMBER AND INSTALLED VEHICLE /PLATFORM NAMES" in Section

1 of this chapter identifies the specific vehicle/platform that each version of the kit is installed in.

All kits contain one Master Control Station (MCS) and a minimum of two Full Function Crew Stations

(FFCS). Some kit versions also contain Monitor Only Stations (MOS). The MCS has connections for 2

radios. For those vehicles/platforms that utilize more than two radios, a Radio Interface Terminal (RIT) is

added to the kit. Each RIT allows two additional radios to be hooked up. The VIS can operate a maximum

of six radios (1 MCS plus 2 RITs) at any one time.

Additionally, the installation kits contain various types (power, highway, alarm, etc.) and quantities of

cables. Also supplied with the kits are various type of brackets and plates, along with the mounting

hardware needed to secure them to the vehicle and/or platform. The Mounting hardware to secure the

LRUs (Line Replaceable Units), (MCS, FFCS, etc.) to these brackets and plates is also included. In some

vehicle/platform installations, existing brackets, plates and mounting hardware is utilized in conjunction

with the hardware that is provided in the installation kits for the VIS.
