Intra-Squad Comms
Vest Mounted Antenna System
(VMAS) — TNC
The ultimate intra-squad comms solution for military transceivers. Routes from your PRC-148/152/163, over the shoulder, and weaves into back webbing to eliminate snag hazards and reduce visual signature.
Berry Compliant
Weavable Architecture
Traditional whips obstruct vision and snag on doorways. The VMAS is a flexible, body-worn antenna housed in an abrasion-resistant sleeve designed to thread through MOLLE webbing.

Tactical Application
Operator Focused: By moving the antenna radiating element to the back of the plate carrier, the VMAS clears the operator's workspace and reduces the "radio man" target signature.
-
✓Unobstructed Movement: Routes behind operator.
-
✓Low Signature: Conceals easier than whips.
-
✓Field Proven: Abrasion & flame rated.
Included: 1x VMAS Antenna Assembly (TNC variant as selected).
Connector Verification
This product uses a TNC Male connector (Straight or 90° depending on variant selected). Ensure your radio (e.g., PRC-152) accepts a TNC connection. Not compatible with Baofeng (SMA) or BNC radios without adapters.
