A mobile communications vehicle (MCV) is a mobile self-sufficient communications vehicle capable of replacing remote radio communication facilities like FAA, fire, and police. The vehicle may carry equipment to operate UHF and VHF frequencies. An MCV can be driven to a location to fill in radio coverage gaps or to replace a damaged radio communications tower. Once deployed the MCV operates unmanned.

Equipment

Many MCVs are equipped with:

  • Diesel generators
  • Telephone connectivity
  • Satellite navigation
  • Satellite uplinks
  • Radio transmitters and receivers
