A mobile communications vehicle (MCV) is a specially-equipped vehicle capable of replacing remote radio communication facilities for mobile communications. An MCV is typically used support public safety communication needs during scheduled or emergency events.[1] 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.
