The Army is conducting market research to determine the status of currently available non-developmental and/or commercial Manpack Radio products and technologies capable of high-rate production at a low unit price. The Army is primarily interested in technologically mature, NSA and Joint Interoperability Test Command certified multi-mode single radio solutions capable of simultaneous voice and data communications between multiple echelons of battlefield leadership with peers, subordinates, tactical enablers (i.e., aviation and fires), Coalition, Host Nation and units equipped with legacy Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) and an advanced networking waveform interoperable with the Army Integrated Tactical Network. This RFI aims to assess the state-of-the-art technology available in Manpack radio products that can be applied to meet existing and future operational and programmatic requirements outlined in the attached Draft Manpack Radio Performance Requirements Document (PRD).
The solutions identified should be rated at Manufacturing Readiness Level 9 and provide improved performance and sustainment capabilities for the mounted and dismounted Manpack Radio systems and ancillary products currently produced by incumbent contractors.
