It is compliant without waivers to the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Software Communications Architecture (SCA). It has received NSA certification for the transmission of Top Secret data.

In accordance with the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), the "AN/PRC-152" designation represents the 152nd design of an Army-Navy electronic device for portable two-way communications radio. The JETDS system also now is used to name all Department of Defense electronic systems.

Users The AN/PRC-152 radio began production in 2005. Since then, over 100,000 have been provided to the US military. The PRC-152 has been notably used by Prince Harry during his service with the British Army, then a 23-year-old second lieutenant in the Household Cavalry. He was responsible for providing cover for troops on the frontline as a Forward Air Controller (FAC) employing the AN/PRC-152 and other systems. (Picture shows Prince Harry with PRC-152 radio)

Ukraine, as part of western military aid, began receiving Harris radios during the war in Donbas. This included the Harris RF-310M-HH, an export version of the PRC-152 without NSA Type 1 encryption.
