AN/PRC-119 are manpack squad tactical radio]]s, a mainstay of the 1990s as the basic U.S. Army infantry squad radio, but is being replaced by more advanced devices. It was the main replacement of the PRC-25|AN/PRC-25]] and PRC-77|AN/PRC-77]] introduced in the Vietnam War]]. In turn, it is being replaced by more advanced radios including the PRC-117|AN/PRC-117]] and PRC-148|AN/PRC-148]], which also combine the functions of some other radio; note that a more advanced radio can have a lower type number (e.g., -117 replacing -119). It is compatible with the SINCGARS]] waveform and security system. In addition to SINCGARS, it has user-settable power settings to decrease the probability of hostile SIGINT]] interception, increase battery life, and reduce the chance of mutual interference when operating close to other units. Early models could connect to an external KY-57|TSEC/KY-57]] encryption device; newer PRC-119s have built-in encryption. The AN/PRC-119 also replaces the PRC-113|AN/PRC-113]], which is a manpack radio for air-to-ground transmission in UHF and VHF, which lacks the HAVE QUICK II]] electronic protection and security system. It lacks the satellite capabilities of the PSC-5|AN/PSC-5]] tactical radio. It is being replaced by more advanced radios including the PRC-117|AN/PRC-117]] and PRC-148|AN/PRC-148]]
