SCOPE
a. Type of Manual: Operator's Manual
b. Model Number and Equipment Name. The official nomenclature is the
AN/VIC-3(V) Intercommunication Set, with its common name being the
Vehicular Intercommunication System (VIS). There are many current and
future variations of this system designed for specific vehicles and/or
platforms, each with its own unique technical bulletin for installation. The first
vehicle/platform is designated the AN/VIC-3(V)1, the second is designated
AN/VIC-3(V)2, and so on, with their corresponding technical bulletins
designated TB 11-5830-263-20-1, TB 11--5830-263-20-2, and so on. These
vehicle/platform specific variations have meaning only to the installation team
as the system loses its identity when installed. Any vehicle/ platform that has
this system installed is referred to as having the VIS or "VIC-3" (AN/VIC-3(V).
c.
Purpose of Equipment: The AN/VIC-3(V) Intercommunication Set, hereinafter
referred to as VIS, is an intercommunication and radio-control system
designed for ground mobile combat vehicles. Digital audio enhances speech
quality and intelligibility. Headsets that incorporate active noise reduction
(ANR) circuitry increase the effectiveness of vehicle communications. They
offer increased hearing protection in the noisy environment of combat
vehicles.
