BreadCrumb XLV

The BreadCrumb XLV is identical to the BreadCrumb XL, with the exception that it also accepts unﬁltered vehicle power (6-40VDC) as a power source. This allows long-range communication within and among vehicle convoys and bases, and enables the bridging of widely spread networks by vehicles. BreadCrumb XLVs have been rapidly deployed:

•In HMMWVs

•In Bradley Fighting Vehicles

•In trucks
