Mobile communications vehicle



A mobile communications vehicle (MCV) is a specially-equipped vehicle capable of replacing remote radio communication facilities for mobile communications. 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.
